Halladay  Standard  Wind  Mill 

It  continues  to  be  manufactured  by  tbe  same  company  who  havo  made  it  a specialty  for  over  twenty- 
live  years,  and  who  have  udded,  from  time  to  time,  many  valuable  improvements. 

It  was  the  First  Reliable  Self-Regi-iating  Wind  Mill  ever  Made, 
and  continues  to  Lead  the  Van! 

It  has  stood  the  test  more  than  a quarter  of  a century  in  all  the  States, 
and  is  used  in  Europe,  and  on  the  Islands  of  the  Sea,  and 

HAS  GAINED  A REPUTATION 


AS  BROAD  AS  ITS  USE  IS  EXTENSIVE 


It  is  the  Only  Wind  Mill  Generally  Adopted  on  all  the  Railroads 

of  the  Country. 

IT  IS  THE  CHEAPEST  WIND  MILL

To  the  Public. 


It  having  come  to  our  knowledge  that  competing  Wind  Mill  Companies, 
with  a view  to  deceive  and  mislead  the  public,  have  published  false  state- 
ments in  relation  to  Wind  Mills  controlled  by  centrifugal  action  in  the  wind 
wheel,  stating  that  the  larger  sizes  used  for  power  mills  and  for  railroad 
pumping  can  never  be  made  to  run  more  than  twenty  to  twenty-five  revolu- 
tions per  minute,  we  take  this  opportunity  to  deny  all  such  statements  fully 
and  emphatically.  Indeed,  while  the  rigid  wheels  must  run  at  a high  speed 
in  violent  winds,  or  not  run  at  all  { they  having  no  medium ),  our  mills  are 
made  to  run  at  any  desired  speed  compatible  with  size  of  mill  and  pump,  no 
matter  how  violent  the  gale.  In  fixing  the  speed  of  the  wind  wheel,  refer- 
ence should  always  be  had  to  its  diameter  and  the  conditions  under  which 
the  pump  is  operating. 

It  requires  but  a moment  to  stop  our  mill  whenever  desired,  for  when  the 
sail  is  thrown  out  of  wind,  every  slat  stands  endwise  to  it,  no  angular  sur- 
face exposed.  The  wheel  points  directly  into  the  eye  of  the  wind  and  is 
affected  by  its  fury  no  more  than  the  vane  on  a church  steeple. 

Our  manner  of  taking  in  sail  does  not  alter  the  angle  of  its  presentation, 
but  simply  shortens  the  sail  until  nothing  but  smaller  end  of  each  slat  is 
presented  to  and  directly  in  line  of  the  wind  current. 

There  is  no  angular  surface  that  the  wind  can  catch  to  turn  the  wheel  in 
either  direction,  so  the  pump  may  remain  attached,  no  matter  how  cold  the 
air  or  how  strong  the  wind,  the  wheel  will  never  provoke  you  by  uneasy  os- 
cillations or  by  pumping  just  water  enough,  when  supposed  to  be  at  rest , to 
freeze  and  burst  the  pump  head,  as  is  often  the  case  with  solid  wheel  mills. 

By  using  centrifugal  force  as  a means  of  regulating,  we  are  enabled  to 
gauge  our  mill  to  any  motion  we  wish,  and  it  must  run  to  that  motion  be- 
fore the  sail  is  shortened.  The  centrifugal  governor  is  the  only  successful 
method  yet  invented  to  gauge  the  speed  of  engines  or  water  wheels. 

We  need  not  argue  its  efficiency  to  any  one  of  a mechanical  turn  of  mind. 

It  is  a principle  well  known  to  those  who  have  made  the  action  of  the 
wind  upon  moving  surfaces  a study,  that  the  speed  of  the  wind  wheel  must 
be  proportionate  to  the  angle  of  the  sail  and  the  speed  of  the  wind.  Thus, 
to  sharpen  the  angle  at  which  the  sail  is  set  is  to  retard  the  motion  of  the 
wheel,  and  to  flatten  the  angle  is  to  accelerate  the  motion.  It  has  been  the 
experience  of  wind  mill  builders  that  any  attempt  to  regulate  the  motion  of 
a wheel  by  an  alteration  of  the  obliquity  of  the  sail  to  the  wind  only  results 
in  failure,  for  this  is  the  very  course  calculated  to  produce  varying  motion. 
Hence  we  see  in  all  successful  mills,  from  the  broad  sail  German  mills  of 
olden  times  to  the  Halladay  Standard  of  to-day,  the  surface  is  reduced  by 
taking  in  sail,  leaving  that  which  is  exposed  at  the  same  angle  as  the  whole, 
and  producing  steady  motion  by  giving  greater  load  to  the  less  surface.  This 
results  in  an  even  application  of  the  pressure  to  the  area  of  the  wheel,  and 
does  not  subject  one  part  to  a double  pressure,  taking  it  all  from  another 
part. 


The  simplest  principle  in  pneumatics  seems  to  have  been  entirely  over- 
looked by  the  builders  or  “ solid  wheel  ” wind  mills.  They  attempt  to  regulate 
the  motion  by  turning  the  whole  wheel,  with  sail  all  set,  angling  or  edgewise 
to  the  wind.  Now  what  is  the  result?  A part  of  the  sail  is  flattened  to  the 
line  of  current,  hence  tends  to  run  faster,  while  another  part  is  sharpened, 
and  tends  to  run  slower.  Thus  the  wind  pressure  produces  an  unequal 
strain  on  the  wheel,  and  in  a high  wind  it  is  held  around  edgewise  to  the 
current,  is  restless,  first  rolling  one  way  then  the  other  ; not  in  a manner  to 
do  effective  work,  but  just  sufficiently  to  prove  a damage  to  the  pump  in 
cold  weather  unless  it  is  detached. 

Does  such  a mill  regulate?  A sudden  gust  stops  it,  the  gust  dies  down, 
the  wheel  swings  around  and  gets  under  way  only  to  be  checked  by  the  suc- 
ceeding gust,  and  so  keeps  alternately  starting  and  stopping,  to  the  great 
damage  of  the  pump  or  any  attached  machinery,  and  often  to  the  destruction 
of  the  wheel  itself.  Now,  because  of  this  unsteady  motion,  which  it  seems 
cannot  be  avoided  in  wheels  built  on  that  principle,  the  builders  would  gladly 
change  the  meaning  of  the  term  “Self-regulating  Wind  Mill.” 

People  commonly  understand  this  to  mean  the  obtaining  of  a steady  or 
regular  motion  of  a wheel  in  varying  winds,  but  our  “solid  wheel  ” friends 
are  forced  to  put  a new  version  to  this,  as  the  reader  will  observe  by  reading 
a few  quotations  from  some  of  their  Circulars. 

One  company,  explaining  the  superior  points  of  “self-regulation”  their 
mill  possesses,  says  as  follows: 

“ A very  high  wind  will  cause  this  wheel  to  stop  automatically , no  matter  how  hard  the  wind  may  blow. 
Quietly  it  breasts  the  hurricane , and  soon  us  danger  is  past  it  at  once  goes  to  work .” 

Another  says: 

“ This  tnill  it  so  constructed  that  when  it  encounters  a gale,  it  will  slop  running  until  the  storm  subsides,  and 
will  then  quietly  go  to  pumping  again.” 

Another  Company  says  their  mill 

M Is  so  constructed  that  when  it  encounters  a gale  or  storm  it  will  quietly  stop  running,  and  when  the  storm  sub- 
sides it  will  commence  running  again” 

Another: 

“ When  the  winds  become  very  severe,  it  will  gently  fold  together  for  the  instant,  and  with  the  easing  of  the 
wind  go  immediately  to  work  again.  Thus  it  governs  itself  perfectly .” 

And  another: 

“ Our  governor  is  so  arranged  as  to  regulate  the  speed  of  the  engine  in  all  kinds  of  wind,  and  will,  when  the 
wind  blows  a gale,  stop  the  engine  entirely,  and  when  the  gale  subsides  the  mill  will  quietly  go  to  work  again.” 

And  last,  but  not  least: 

“ No  matter  how  fiercely  the  tciud  may  howl,  quietly  it  breasts  the  hurricane,  and  when  danger  is  past  it  as 
quietly  goes  to  work.  Like  the  camel  rising  from  the  earth  after  the  passage  of  the  deadly  monsoon,  so  it  rises 
from  its  recumbent  position.”  ( Perhaps..) 

We  have  heard  of  solid  wheel  mills  lying  in  these  “ recumbent  positions,” 
quietly  awaiting  in  this  manner  for  the  wind  to  go  down  for  whole  days  at  a 
time,  and  have  known  of  farmers  being  obliged  to  pump  by  hand  because 
their  solid  wheel  mills  would  not  work  until  the  wind  “subsided.” 

The  above  statements  may  not  look  odd  or  out  of  place  iu  solid  wheel 
wind  mill  circulars,  but  liow  would  it  seem,  or  what  would  any  one 
think  to  read  in  a catalogue  issued  by  some  manufacturer  of  steam  engines 
something  like  the  following? 

“ This  steam  engine  has  a governor  so  arranged  that  when  the  pressure  of 
steam  in  the  boiler  gets  high  the  throttle  is  closed,  thus  gently  stopping  the 
engine  until  all  danger  is  passed,  when  it  quietly  opens  the  throttle  and  the 
engine  moves  off  like  a thing  of  life.” 

Would  not  the  above  be  a sort  of  convincing  recommend  for  any  other 
machine  than  a “ solid  wheel”  wind  mill?  Surely,  a fault  in  a machine  must 
be  very  serious  when  its  builders  virtually  admit  there  is  no  remedy  by  try- 
ing to  palm  it  off  on  the  public  as  a virtue. 

Now  we  build  our  wheels  all  sizes  from  8 feet  to  60  feet  diameter,  and 
they  work  successfully,  and  we  guarantee  them  to  so  regulate  themselves 
in  winds  of  great  velocity  as  to  keep  a uniform  speed,  and  further,  that 
when  pulled  out  of  sail  the  /oh eel  will  stand  still,  thus  doing  no  damage  to 
the  pump  hi  the  coldest  weather. 

We  are  the  only  successful  builders  of  large  geared  mills.  No  rigid  or 
“solid”  wheel  larger  than  30  feet  diameter  can  be  found  in  America.  Only 
one  or  two  builders  have  attempted  larger  than  14  feet  diameter,  and  the 
very  fact  that  our  principle  of  building  is  safe  for  large  or  small  sizes  is  of 
itself  proof  that  it  is  the  only  correct  principle  to  build  on.

Description. 


It  will  not  be  necessary  to  enter  into  an  elaborate  description  of  the  mill 
in  all  its  details.  What  we  wish  is  to  make  plain  the  scientific  construction, 
operation  and  the  merits  which  make  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill  so  perfectly 
manageable,  storm-defying,  powerful  and  durable.  In  doing  this  we  will 
make  use  of  the  cut  on  opposite  page. 

A,  the  Bed-Plate,  is  a strong  casting,  resting  on  two  masts  in  the  Tower 
and  bolted  (irmly  to  same  and  further  secured  by  the  two  braces  E E.  Upon 
this  revolves  the  Turn-table  B,  held  in  position  by  Bolts  K,  with  oblong 
heads,  which  reach  under  Bed-Plate,  and  provided  with  Rollers,  allowing  it 
to  turn  freely  as  the  wind  changes  its  direction.  These  Rollers  run  on  a 
lathe  turned  track,  and  both  are  protected  from  the  weather  by  flanges  on 
Turn-Table.  The  Spider,  C C,  to  which  are  bolted  the  Arms  or  Spokes  of 
the  Wind  Wheel,  is  firmly  keyed  to  the  Main  Shaft,  which  rotates  in  Babbit- 
lined  boxes  on  the  Turn-Table.  On  the  inner  end  of  this  Shaft  is  keyed  the 
Crank  Plate  M,  to  which  is  attached  the  Pitman  L.  By  means  of  the  Post 
Attachments,  consisting  of  Sleeve  Box  S,  Swivel  Box  X and  Sliding  Boss  Z, 
connection  is  so  made  between  Pitman  and  Pump,  that  the  revolving  of  the 
Turn-Table  upon  the  Bed-Plate  will  not  twist  or  cramp  the  connections  or 
prevent  Sails  being  spread  or  furled,  by  means  of  Shut-off  Rod  R. 

The  great  peculiarity  and  main  point  of  success  in  the  Halladay  Wind 
Mill  is  the  arrangement  of  its  Regulating  Gear,  consisting  of  the  Sliding 
Head  D,  Elbows  Y and  their  connections.  The  inner  end  of  each  Elbow 
is  connected  to  the  Sliding  Head  by  means  of  a Link,  the  connections  from 
the  outer  ends  to  the  Sails  being  made  by  means  of  rods,  called  Regulating 
Rods,  shown  in  cuts  on  pages  2 and  3. 

On  the  outer  ends  of  the  Regulating  Rods  are  governing  balls,  called 
Regulating  Weights,  the  action  of  which  is  the  same  as  the  governor  on  a 
steam  engine,  causing  the  Sails  to  present  less  surface  to  the  wind  as  its 
velocity  increases. 

The  Weight  W,  on  Forked  Lever  F,  acts  in  opposition  to  Regulating 
Weights,  causing  Sails  to  present  more  surface  as  the  power  of  the  wind 
lessens,  thus  making  the  Mill  storm-defying  and  enabling  it  to  attain  a uni- 
form motion  in  all  the  varying  velocities  of  the  wind.  The  Sails  may  be 
furled  and  Mill  stopped  and  made  to  stand  still , by  pulling  down  on  Shut-off 
Rod  R.  The  use  ot  the  Weight  O is  to  balance  Rods  R R/.  It  will  be  seen 
that  the  Regulating  Gear  is  very  simple,  securing  a direct  connection  with 
each  Sail,  and  direct  action  of  the  Regulating  Weights  on  the  Sliding  Head 
and  its  connections,  thereby  giving  positive  movement  to  all  the  parts;  and 
as  these  parts  are  only  acted  upon  when  the  wind  is  so  strong  as  to  have  a 
tendency  to  run  the  mill  faster  than  the  maximum  speed,  the  wear  is  very 
light  upon  them.  Language  cannot  make  you  fully  appreciate  the  beauti- 
ful movement  of  this  device.  You  should  be  an  eye-witness  to  the  manner 
in  which  it  regulates  itself  in  all  kinds  of  storms.  At  a trifling  expense  the 
Mill  may  be  arranged  to  stop  itself  when  the  Tank  is  full,  and  of  itself  to  re- 
sume work  when  water  is  used  from  the  Tank,  thus  preventing  unneces- 
sary wear,  and  appearing  more  like  a thing  of  life  and  intelligence  than  a 
mere  machine.  You  will  find  it  no  rude  built,  unsightly  thing,  but  really 
beautiful  and  ornamental  and  the  most  durable  machine  of  the  kind  in  the 
market. 

Every  machine  being  made  of  the  best  material,  by  skilled  mechanics,  and 
machinery  especially  adapted  to  the  work,  we  have  won  for  the  Halladay 
Mill  a title  it  justly  merits — “ The  Standard .”

THE  IMPROVED 

HALIADAY  STANDARD  WIND  MILL. 


PATENTED  MAT  8,  1877. 


The  principle  and  working  of  the  improved  Mill  is  virtually  the  same  as 
shown  and  explained  on  pages  6 and  7.  The  improvements  are  as  follows: 

The  front  bearing  of  the  main  shaft  S'  is  extended  out  to  the  hub  of 
the  spider  Y,  thus  preventing  the  overhanging  of  the  wind-wheel  and  the 
consequent  wear.  The  back  plate,  or  collar  D,  works  between  the  two 
bearings  to  main  shaft,  and  is  connected  to  the  front  plate  C by  means  of  a 
rod  working  through  the  center  of  shaft  S',  which  is  hollow.  This  allows  a 
long  link  connection  between  the  front  plate  C and  elbows  Y ; also  allows 
the  elbows  to  be  fulcrumed  toward  the  outer  ends  of  the  spider  arms,  giving 
long  bearings  which  will  not  show  wear  and  cause  the  elbows  to  rattle. 
The  connection  from  elbows  to  fans  F is  made  by  means  of  the  regulating 
rods  W.  On  the  outer  ends  of  the  regulating  rods  are  governing  balls, 
called  regulating  weights,  the  action  of  which  is  the  same  as  the  governor 
on  a steam  engine,  causing  the  sails  to  present  less  surface  to  the  wind  as 
its  velocity  increases.  The  weight  W,  on  the  lever  P,  acts  in  opposition  to 
the  regulating  weights,  causing  sails  to  present  more  surface  as  the  power 
of  the  wind  lessens,  thus  making  the  mill  storm-defying  and  enabling  it  to 
attain  a uniform  motion  in  all  the  varying  velocities  of  the  wind.  The 
fulcrum  F to  the  forked  lever  N is  made  in  the  form  of  a shield,  and  pro. 
tects  the  sliding  collar  D and  slot  in  the  shaft  from  the  weather.  All  bear- 
ings and  joints  in  the  mills  we  now  manufacture  are  made  to  sustain  the 
wear  and  strain  that  comes  upon  them.  The  elbows  Y are  so  proportioned 
as  to  prevent  the  wear  multiplying,  and  provision  is  made  for  the  collar  D 
to  follow  and  take  up  any  wear  in  the  central  iron  work  during  the  life  of 
the  mill.  All  lost  motion  and  rattle  are  done  away  with,  and  the  sails,  or 
fans,  are  kept  as  rigid  as  in  a “solid-wheel  mill.”  Thus  we  get  the  full 
benefit  of  the  one  good  quality  of  a “solid  wheel”  and  retain  the  many 
valuable  features  of  the  “sectional  wheel,”  as  explained  on  pages  4 and  5. 
We  guarantee  our  improved  Mills  to  be  more  powerful,  better  regulating, 
more  durable  and  much  safer  in  storms  than  any  other  wind-mill  in  the 
market.

Health  of  the  Animals. 


The  waste  of  time  and  the  hard  work  are  by  no  means  all  the  objections 
to  hand  pumping.  Every  intelligent  farmer  knows  that  neither  the  boys 
nor  the  hired  help  are  always  reliable,  and  the  old  gentleman  himself  is 
sometimes  tired,  or  is  absent  from  home  in  the  evening ; the  stock  are  neg. 
lected  until  next  day,  when  the  cattle,  almost  famished,  fill  themselves  so 
full  of  cold  water  on  a winter’s  morning,  that  they  stand  and  shiver  for 
hours,  to  their  great  injury ; and  if  water  is  any  considerable  distance  from 
the  yard  in  brooks  or  springs,  in  severe  weather  they  will  not  go  for  it  until 
very  thirsty,  when  the  results  are  the  same.  Every  stock  raiser  also  knows 
that  cattle  are  more  or  less  uneasy  and  become  unruly  when  not  well  sup- 
plied with  water,  and  are  continually  breaking  through  enclosures,  damaging 
crops,  and  straying  from  home  in  pursuit  of  it. 

Farmers  often  scoop  out  an  artificial  pond,  and  in  warm  weather  and  fly 
time  the  cattle  stand  there  for  hours,  and  it  soon  becomes  a warm,  offensive 
mass  of  filth,  which  they  are  forced  to  drink  or  die,  and  their  livers  become 
so  diseased  that  they  are  not  fit  food  for  dogs,  but  subjects  for  the  cattle  dis- 
ease, should  it  visit  this  country ; and  thus  grain  is  wrasted  in  attempts  to 
fatten  stock  with  diseased  livers. 

There  are  hundreds  of  large,  well  watered  stock  farms  in  the  country, 
which  the  owners  value  fully  one  or  two  thousand  dollars  more  than  if  they 
were  not  thus  provided  with  water  by  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill.  It  is  high  time, 
therefore,  for  the  great  agricultural  interests  of  the  country,  that  the  farm- 
ers should  be  made  aware  of  the  fact  that  all  the  high  and  dry  prairies,  by 
the  use  of  this  cheap  and  simple  device,  can  be  made  good  stock  farms,  and 
really  more  valuable  than  those  possessing  natural  advantages  for  water, 
for  there  is  no  waste  land,  and  the  water  can  be  provided  directly  at  the 
points  desired,  in  farm  yards  and  pastures. 

The  dictates  of  wisdom,  the  great  convenience,  happiness  and  comfort  of 
all  concerned,  your  highest  pecuniary  interest,  the  health  of  your  stock,  and 
true  benevolence,  should  move  you  to  adopt  tins  most  valuable  invention 
what  the  world  has  been  waiting  for,  for  centuries. 

We  make  seventeen  sizes,  from  one-man  to  forty-five  horse  power.  Our 
smallest  size  mills,  in  ordinary  depth  wells,  with  large  reservoirs,  will  sup- 
ply 500  head  of  cattle  during  the  entire  year. 

By  making  a tank  sixteen  feet  long,  five  feet  wide  and  twenty  inches 
deep,  you  have  a reservoir  holding  thirty-one  barrels,  which  will  supply 
water  through  occasional  calms.  By  covering  the  sides  and  top  six  inches 
thick  with  some  frost-breaking  substance,  you  wili  have  no  trouble  from

TESTIMONIALS. 


I&  THE  HALLADAY  MILL  DURABLE  ? 

Letter  from  Dr.  H.  A.  Crant,  of  Enfield,  Conn.,  Who  has  the  First 
Halladay  Mill  Ever  Sold. 

“ Long  View,”  Enfield,  Conn.,  September  18, 1S7G. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  <f*  Pump  Co.%  Batavia,  lit., 

Gentlemen;  The  Halladay  Wind  Mill  erected  for  me  in  1S53  or  1854  ran  steadily  from  that  time  up 
to  1872,  and  during  tne  eighteen  or  nineteen  years  that  it  was  in  constant  use,  day  and  night  (except 
when  my  water  tank  was  full),  the  entire  cost  of  repairs,  exclusive  of  sperm  oil  for  lubricating,  was  not 
over  $15;  and  with  one  or  two  dollars’  expenditure  the  old  Mill  would  do  satisfactory  work  for  the  next 
live  years.  I consider  it  the  cheapest  and  most  durable  piece  of  machinery  I have  ever  had  on  my  farm. 

In  1872, 1 converted  my  farm  from  a general  one  to  a dairy  farm,  and  “ A No.  1 ” Alderney  or  Jersey 
winter  butter  to  be  my  specialty,  therefore,  it  was  absolutely  essential  to  have  my  dairy  of  a uniform 
temperature,  the  food  of  my  cows  thoroughly  steamed  or  cooked,  my  churns,  pails,  etc.,  etc.,  steamed  or 
washed  in  hot  water  While  my  wind  mill  could  and  did  do  all  my  pumping  well,  it  could  not  of  course 
furnish  the  steam,  and  as  I had  steam  plenty  and  to  spare,  made  my  engine  do  the  work  of  pumping.  I 
find  that  the  expense  of  steam  is  much  more  than  I expected,  while  that  of  your  wind  mill  was  so  little  I 
might  call  it  notkiug.  Yours  truiy,  li.  A.  GRANT.  • 

A Mill  in  Active  Use  Twenty-four  Years  and  Still  in  Cood  Order. 

V.  S.  Wind  Engine  Pimp  Co., 

Gentlemen  : Twenty  FOUR  years  auo,  when  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill  Co.  was  manufacturing  in  Connecti- 
cut, I bought  and  paid  $1J5  for  a 10-foot  mill,  and  it  has  been  continually  in  operation  ever  since,  the  neces- 
sary repairs  for  the  entire  time  costing  not  to  exceed  $6.  It  has  withstood  all  the  severe  storms  uninjured, 
while  many  of  the  s^-called  ‘‘cheap”  mills  in  this  vicinity  have  been  totally  destroyed.  And  although 
the  old  mill  is  now  in  good  order  and  doing  satisfactory  work,  yet  I am  compelled  to  have  another  to 
supply  my  stock  in  other  pastures.  The  new  well  is  forty  feet  deep  and  there  is  a good  pump  already  in. 
Please  name  cash  price  for  your  latest  Improved  Mill,  and  oblige 

Yours  truly,  DAVID  McLAY,  Emerald  Grove,  Wis. 


I n Constant  Use  Sixteen  Years  and  Considered  by  the  Owner  Cood 

for  Sixteen  More. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  Pimp  Co.,  Batavia,  III., 

Gentlemen : The  wind  mill  which  Mr.  Halladay  erected  on  my  premises  in  June,  1862,  has  been  run- 
ning ever  since  that  time,  and  has  given  entire  satisfaction . It  is  still  in  good  condition,  and  I see  no 
reason  why  it  should  not  last  sixteen  years  longer.  During  the  sixteen  years  it  has  been  in  use,  the  cost 
of  repairs  has  been  but  trifling.  I can  cheerfully  recommend  your  mill  to  those  who  are  in  need  of  one.

IO-foot  Mill  in  Daily  Use  Fifteen  or  Sixteen  Years,  and  will  still  do 

Long  Service. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  «{•  Pump  Co..  Batavia,  111., 

Gentlemen:  The  old  wind  mill  purchased  of  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill  Co.  fifteen  or  sixteen  years 
ago  is  still  on  hand,  and  would,  with  some  small  repairs,  still  do  long  service.  Some  improvements  on 
the  farm  being  made  three  years  ago,  it  was  taken  down  and  put  at  a well  iu  the  sheep  pasture,  and 
replaced  by  ono  of  your  Improved  Mills,  which  works  admirably  and  gives  entire  satisfaction.  Its  supe- 
riority over  the  old  one,  in  accommodating  itself  to  the  variable  forces  of  the  wind,  consists  in  the  gov- 
erning power  being  the  same  as  in  the  steam  engine,  requiring  no  attention  to  any  fixture  whatever  to 
regulate  it.  Whether  atiached  to  the  pump  or  not,  the  motion  is  necessarily  the  same.  I have  no  hes- 
itation in  recommending  it  to  those  who  require  the  pumping  of  water  for  any  purpose,  as  all  that  can  be 
desired.  Respectfully  yours,  ROBERT  ROWE,  Sheridan,  111. 

Messrs.  Biehl  Brothers  ; I have  had  in  use  Halladay’s  Wind  Mill  for  twelve  years,  and  have  been  so 
well  pleased  with  it  that  I have  just  got  another  one  of  the  same  kind. 

Very  respectfully,  SAMUEL  NICHOLSON,  Haddonfield,  N.  J. 

l\  S.  W.  E.  <{•  P.  Co., 

Gents;  The  Wind  Mill  greatly  disappointed  me.  New  inventions,  patents  and  improvements  seldom 
come  up  to  the  quality  contended  for  by  the  proprietors,  and  consequently  I was  prepared  for  your  Engine 
to  fall  short  and  still  do  well ; but  I must  say  that  the  half  has  not  been  told.  I expected,  of  course  to 
have  to  wait  for  a fresh  wind  to  move  it,  but  really  the  only  evidence  I sometimes  have  of  any  stir  of  air 
is  seeing  the  machine  in  motion.  Tn  a word,  I must  say  that  it  is  a success  beyond  my  most  sanguine 
expectations,  and  I take  pleasure  in  describing  its  wonderful  peiformance  to  all  who  call  to  see  it. 

Yours  truly,  F.  D.  THURMAN,  M.  D.,  Atlanta,  Ga. 

From  a Prominent  Farmer  and  Dairyman  in  Canada. 

Mr.  Fred.  Hills, 

Dear  Sir : Thinking  it  might  be  of  service  to  you,  I take  great  pleasure  in  informing  you  that  the 
Halladay  Wind  Mill  you  erected  for  me  has  given  perfect  satisfaction.  All  farmers  and  especially  dairy- 
men would  do  well  to  have  one.  I shall  do  my  beat  to  recommend  them.

The  Halladay  Mill  is  Much  Admired  in  Cuba. 

V.  S.  Wind  Engine  & Pump  Co 

Gentlemen:  I had  good  luck  in  receiving  the  three  Wind  Mills  I ordered  from  your  establishment, 
without  breakage,  etc.  The  freight  on  the  three  was  $27,  gold,  and  the  duties  $10,  gold,  each.  I had  no 
difficulty  at  all  in  setting  them  up.  The  work  has  been  completed  some  weeks,  and  I am  now  happy  to 
be  able  to  state  that  they  ail  work  well  and  give  the  best  of  satisfaction,  notwithstanding  it  is  the  most 
unfavorable  season  of  the  year  here.  The  dry  season  here  is  when  we  require  the  most  water,  and  is  when 
we  have  most  wind.  1 am  only  astonished  that  long  before  I have  not  had  such  a labor-saving  machine. 
They  are  very  much  admired,  and  many  speak  of  getting  them. 

Yours  respectfully,  WM.  MADEN,  Cardenas,  Cuba. 


From  Hon.  John  Cassedy,  of  McLean  County,  III. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  & Pump  Co ., 

Gentlemen:  I have  used  the  Halladay  10-foot  Wind  Mill  on  my  farm  for  the  last  eight  years,  and 
words  cannot  express  my  satisfaction  with  it.  I have  two  tanks,  each  16x8x2  feet  deep,  connected  by 
small  pipe,  and  the  mill  keeps  them  full  nearly  all  the  time.  For  eight  years,  it  has  furnished  an  abund- 
ance of  water  for  from  ninety  to  one  hundred  and  thirty  head  of  cattle  and  horses  aud  from  one  to  two 
hundred  hogs.  It  governs  itself  lik<*  a thing  of  life,  running  no  faster  in  a gale  than  in  a fair  wind.  It 
does  not  take  much  wind  to  run  it.  I consider  it  worth  50  to  75  cents  per  day  over  all  trouble  aud  expense, 
end  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  all.  I could  not  do  without  it. 

Very  respectfully,  JOHN  CASSEDY,  Lexington,  111.  * 


U.  8.  Wind  Engine  d‘  Pump  Co., 

• Gentlemen : The  Halladay  Standard  Wind  Mill  erected  for  us  by  your  agent,  Mr.  D.  P.  Hawes,  has 
saved  us  such  an  immense  amount  of  trouble  in  the  past  eight  months,  pumping  water  from  a well  81*0 
feet  deep  to  supply  150  head  of  stock  (and  it  would  supply  three  times  as  many  equally  well),  that  we  hike 
great  pleasure  in  adding  our  testimonial  in  its  favor.  Every  day  adds  to  the  convincing  proofs  of  its 
excellence.  The  wheel  is  13  feet  in  diameter  and  it  saves  so  much  hard  work  without  any  running 
expense  a-  d requires  so  little  attention,  that  too  much  cannot  be  said  in  its  favor.  It  is  worth  to  us  each 
year  all  that  we  paid  lor  it.  We  consider  it  the  best  and  most  durable  mill  in  the  market.  It  fills  the 
whole  bill  completely.  Yours  very  truly,

A 12-ft.  Halladay  Wind  Mill  furnishes  the  beautiful  Suburban  Res- 
idence and  Grounds  of  Mr.  Edwin  Lee  Brown,  at  Evanston,  III., 
with  all  the  Water  Privileges  attainable  in  a large  City. 

Chicago,  March  22, 1879. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  <b  Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen  : The  12-foot  “ Halladay  ” Mill  which  you  put  up  for  me  some  four  or  five  years  ago,  at 
my  residence  at  Evanston,  111.,  has  been  a most  perfect  success  in  every  respect.  The  Tower,  or  Observa- 
tory, is  located,  as  you  know,  directly  on  the  bank  of  Lake  Michigan,  about  six  hundred  feet  from  my 
house,  and  incloses  a hundred-barrel  tank,  around  which  the  stairs  wind  up  to  the  balcony,  about  sixty 
feet  above  the  lake. 

The  pump,  worked  by  the  mill,  supplies  my  house,  the  fountain  in  the  “ lily-pond  ” near  the  house, 
and  several  hydrants,  used  for  watering  the  grounds  (ten  acres),  with  all  the  water  needed,  and  at  all 
times,  without  fail. 

My  Mill  and  Pump  are  in  operation  both  summer  and  winter,  and,  I should  judge,  would  easily  sup- 
Ply  families  with  all  the  water  needed  for  ordinary  purposes — say,  five  barrels  daily  for  each  lamily. 
And  in)  experience  leads  me  to  believe  that  by  far  the  cheapest  and  best  way  to  supply  villages  and  small 
cities  with  water  w ould  be  to  use  wiud-mill  power  to  do  the  pumping,  as  the  expense  of  raising  the  water, 
alter  the  wind  mills,  pumps  and  reservoirs  are  erected,  would  be  almost  nothing — being  merely  for  oil,  and 
the  slight  “ wear  and  tear”  of  the  slow-moving  machinery,  which  would  be  a small  item. 

I will  close  this  testimonial  (which  I give  with  the  greatest  pleasure)  by  saying  that  I should  feel 
“lost”  without  my  wind  mill  and  the  consequent  supply  of  water;  and  it  is  hardly  necessary  for  me  to 
add,  that,  before  ordering  a wind  mill,  extended  inquiries  led  me  to  believe  that  yours  was  the  best  in  the 
market,  and  my  belief  is  the  same  now'  as  then. 

Yours  respectfully,  EDWIN  LEE  BROWN.

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  & Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen : I am  highly  pleased  with  the  operation  of  the  11-foot  Halladay  Standard  Wind  Mill, 
Pump,  etc.,  you  erected  at  my  residence  In  South  Evanston,  111.  I have  four  Tillotson  filter  wells,  sixteen 
feet  uer»p,  connected  with  each  other  by  a 3-inch  pipe.  The  well-water  tank  has  a capacity  of  about  two 
hundred  aud  fifty  barrels,  is  inclosed  by  the  wind  mill  tower,  and  made  frost-proof.  The  rain-water  Link 
is  located  in  the  attic  of  my  dwelling-house,  which  is  two  hundred  feet  from  the  pump,  and,  by  the  simple 
arrangement  of  three  way-cocks,  etc.,  one  pump  keeps  both  tanks  filled. 

Pipes  are  laid  below  frost-line  throughout  the  premises,  with  hydrants  hero  and  there,  to  which  we 
attach  hose  and  irrigate  lawns  and  garden,  wash  windows,  carriages,  etc.;  and,  not  only  these  conven- 
iences, but  the  pipes  leading  to  tho  bouse  are  coiled  around  the  furnace,  in  the  cellar,  so  that  we  can 
draw  hard  and  soft  water,  hot  or  cold,  in  any  room  desired.  We  always  have  an  abundant  supply  of 
water,  and  tho  whole  is  very  satisfactory  indeed.  Yours  truly,  JAMES  S.  KIRK.

WIND  POWE3. 

The  cheapest  of  all  powers  for  raising  water,  grinding  fetjd,  cutting  wood,  and  doing  all  kinds  of  work 
on  a farm  that  can  be  done  by  a stationary  power,  is  the  wind;  and  the  great  degree  of  perfection  to 
which  wind  mills  have  been  brought  by  the  impiovements  of  the  last  ten  years  has  caused  them  to  be 
used  by  the  best  farmers  all  over  the  country,  especially  in  the  West.  Go  where  you  will,  among  the 
well-to-do  farmers  on  the  prairies  of  Illinois  and  Iowa,  you  will  see  these  winged  engines  of  power  in 
operation,  silently  and  surely  doing  the  work  that  erst  was  done  by  the  farmer’s  own  muscle  or  that  of 
his  patient  servant,  the  horse.  But  science  and  art  have  taught  him  to  harness  the  wind;  and  it  does  his 
bidding,  while  he  and  his  tired  horse  are  enjoying  a quiet  rest.  Among  the  various  patterns  of  improved 
machinery  for  this  purpose,  there  is  probably  none  more  popular,  or  more  extensively  used,  and  certainly 
none  that  has  stood  the  test  of  practical  use  better  than  the  Hal  lad  ay  Standard  Wind  Mill,  manufactured 
by  the  U.  S.  Wind  Engine  & Bump  Company,  Batavia,  111 

Fourteen  Farmers  in  One  Neighborhood  Would  not  Exchange

Gentlemen  : The  Halladay  Wind  Mill  and  Pump,  bought  of  Mr.  Jacob  Looser  six  years  ago,  works 
well,  and  has  cost  nothing  for  repairs.  It  has  stood  all  right  through  several  heavy  wind-storms.  There 
are  fourteen  of  your  Mills  in  this  neighborhood,  and  not  one  would  exchange  them  for  any  other  make.

A Durable  Wind  Mill. 

Editor  Beacon  and  Blade: 

I have  been  thinking  for  two  years  of  telling  the  farmers  and  stock-men  ot  this  country  what  fine 
wind  pumps  I am  using  on  my  farm,  and  of  what  great  durability  they  are.  I have  used  two  pumps  over 
three  years,  winter  and  summer;  one  of  them  pumps  for  300  cattle  and  the  other  for  200.  I have  not  paid 
out  one  dollar  for  repairs.  They  arc  a complete  success.  In  addition  to  the  above,  I have  this  year  bought 
three  more  of  the  same  kind,  and  they  are  doing  very  fine  work.  I think  more  of  them  than  of  any 
improvement  I ever  put  on  my  farm.  No  storm  will  hurt  them.  They  may  be  left  running  day  and 
night.  My  water-tanks  are  so  arranged  that,  when  they  get  full,  the  water  is  conveyed  back  into  the  well 
with  pipes,  always  keeping  freshwater  in  cold  weather.  I bought  the  first  mill  on  sixty  days’ time,  so 
that  I could  have  a fair  trial  to  test  it;  but  the  mill  pleased  me  so  well  that  I paid  the  cash  the  day  they 
finished  putting  it  up.  I thought  the  machinery  so  perfect  it  must  run  all  right.  My  reason  for  making 
this  statement  is  that  there  are  so  many  useless  mills  in  the  country.  I frequently  see,  when  I am  riding 
over  the  country,  parts  of  these  useless  mills  at  different  blacksmiths’ shops  for  repairs.  My  five  mills 
are  all  of  the  No.  2 size,  from  the  United  States  Wind  Engine  & Tump  Company,  Batavia,  111.  The  above 
mills  cost  $100  each,  and  will  pay  for  themselves  every  year.  JAMES  GAINES,  Ridge  Farm,  111. 


12-Foot  Mill  Pumping  from  a 97 -Foot  Well  and  Churning  at  the 
Same  Time.- “ Sol  id  -Wheel  Miilswill  not  Pump  at  all 
in  Heavy  Winds.” 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  <(•  Primp  Co ., 

Gentlemen ; I have  had  one  of  the  12-foot  Halladay  Mills  in  use  nearly  three  years,  and  know  no  mill 
that  is  equal  to  it.  It  has  stood  the  strongest  winds,  and  has  never  been  out  of  repair,  and,  as  yet,  shows 
no  wear  or  weak  places. 

The  mill  I had  previously  (which  was  made  by  one  of  your  competitors)  cost  me  $19  for  repairs  the 
first  year  it  was  up,  and  it  was  afterward  out  of  repair  so  much  that  I had  to  take  it  down  and  erect  a 
Halladay  in  its  place. 

My  well  is  ninety-seven  feet  deep,  and  the  mill  will  pump  and  run  a “ Barrel  Churn  ” at  the  same 
time.  It  will  run  in  very  light  wind,  and  much  steadier  than  any  wheel  I am  acquainted  with.  The 
solid-wheel  mills  will  not  pump  at  all  in  heavy  winds. 

Yours  truly,  CHARLES  H.  WATERMAN,  Barrington,  111. 


50  Cents  the  First  Outlay  for  Repairs  in  Seven  Years. 

U,  S.  Wind  Engine  <£•  Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen : Please  find  inclosed  50  cents  to  pay  for  the  shoes  to  back  plate  for  my  Halladay  Standard 
Wind  Mill.  They  fitted  all  right,  and  put  my  mill  in  good  working  condition  again. 

It  has  been  seven  years  since  I bought  the  mill,  and  it  has  always  done  good  work,  having  pumped  all 
'he  water  necessary  for  a large  stock  from  a well  sixty  feet  deep,  and  this  50  cents  is  the  first  outlay  for 
repairs.  I see  no  reason  why  the  mill  should  not  last  as  much  longer.  It  cost  mo  about  $150,  with  all  the 
fixtures,  and  has  given  me  more  satisfaction  than  any  other  investment  I ever  made  on  my  farm. 

Yours  truly,  J.  C.  BUTTON,  Ridgefield,  111.

A Ten-Foot  Mill  Fully  Supplies  a Hotel  Having  Eighty  Guests. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  <(•  Pnmp  Co ., 

Gentlemen  : Your  communication  just  received,  to  which  I gladly  respond  My  Halladay  Wind  Mill, 
put  up  l<y  Mr.  W.  G.  Rhoads,  five  years  ago:  works  to  a charm.  I have  a ten-foot  wheel  which  raises  all 
the  water  used  in  my  house  with  about  eighty  guests,  a height  of  about  fifty  feet;  running  about  one- 
third  of  the  time,  and  requiring  greasing  twice  a week.  The  repairs  in  five  years  have  cost  ten  cents. 
The  only  difficulty  tube  avoided  is  scant  supply  of  water,  and  too  small  reservoir,  one  of  which  I have 
remedied  by  putting  up  a larger  tank,  but  the  other  depends  altogether  on  Providence,  as  I pump  from  a 
well,  and  in  case  of  a drought  it  runs  low.  I remain  yours  respectfully,

Gentlemen  : I am  pleased  to  say  the  Wind  Mill  erected  by  your  agent  here,  on  my  premises,  does  all 
which  was  promised.  There  is  no  doubt. in  my  mind  but  it  will  do  all  the  work  claimed  for  it  by  you, and 
do  it  well,  and  with  the  least  liability  to  wear  and  tear.  It  looks  so  reasonable  to  utilize  the  power  fur- 
nished us  by  nature  free  of  cost.  The  want  of  ability  alone  prevents  my  making  further  and  larger  invest- 
ments in  your  machinery. 

I regard  the  invention  a national  blessing.  Doubtless  it  will  be  the  prime  agent  in  rendering  the 
wide  and  desolate  prairies  of  our  Western  border  habitable,  and  aid  man  in  reclaiming  and  bringing  into 
cultivation  the  arid  6ands  of  the  desert. 

I repeat,  I am  pleased,  and  highly  pleased,  and  wish  you  abundant  success  in  the  enterprise  in  which 
you  are  engaged.  Yours  truly,  W.  P.  GILLESPIE. 

From  Alexander  Cameron,  Esq.,  the  Celebrated  Tobacco  Manu- 
facturer, of  Richmond,  Va. 

Mr.  George  Canby , 

Dear  Sir : In  answer  to  your  favor  of  the  17th  inst.,  I will  say  that  the  12-foot  Halladay  Wind  Mill 
which  you  erected  for  me  at  my  country  place,  near  Gordonsville,  Va.,  in  1S7G,  has  proven  a great  success. 
It  elevates  water  fiom  a well  50  feet  deep,  and  forces  it  through  1,100  feet  of  lV^-inch  pipe  into  a tank  at 
the  house,  at  an  elevation  of  80  feet ; the  only  limit  to  the  supply  so  far  being  the  capacity  of  the  well  for 
supplying  the  water,  which  has  at  times  been  exhausted.  Its  self-regulating  properties  are  truly  remarka- 
ble, having  stood  the  storms  of  the  period  without  injury.  Your  automatic  arrangement  for  the  mill  to 
stop  itself  when  the  tank  is  full,  and  6tart  again  when  water  is  drawn,  requiring  no  personal  attention, 
seems  life-like  in  its  action  and  almost  endowed  with  intelligence.  The  mill  has  required  no  cost  for 
repairs,  and  I can  earnestly  recommend  it  as  an  extremely  economical  and  most  satisfactory  arrangement 
for  supplying  water  for  farm  or  house  use.  Yours  very  truly,  ALEXANDER  CAMERON. 

The  Halladay  Never  Cets  “Out  of  Fix.” 

Clark  Howell , Esq ., 

Dear  Sir  : The  No.  2 (10-feet)  Halladay  Wind  INI  ill  you  erected  for  me  to  pump  water  from  a spring 
about  two  hundred  yards  distant  from  my  house  and  6table  has  proved  all  you  recommended,  and  met  our 
expectations  fully.  It  has  never  been  “ out  of  fix,”  although  running  night  and  day  whenever  there  was 
wind.  Consider  it  perfectly  safe  (having  successfully  withstood  several  tremendous  storms  without  any 
protection  or  care)  and  not  liable  to  get  out  of  order.  On  account  of  the  long  distance  the  mill  had  to 
be  placed  from  the  spring  (1G0  feet)  and  the  elevation  and  length  of  conveying-pipes,  the  job  was  very 
expensive,  yet  I would  not  be  without  it  for  its  entire  cost  every  year. 

Yours,  etc.,  C.  L.  JOHNSON,  Johnson's  X Roads,  Monroe  Co.,  W.  Va. 


The  Durability  of  Solid-Wheel  Mills  as  Compared  with  the  Old 

Reliable.” 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  d Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen:  The  Halladay  Wind  Mill  I purchased  of  your  agent,  Mr.  N.  F.  Thomas,  more  than  ten 
vears  ago,  has  worked  to  my  entire  satisfaction  ever  since.  The  entire  cost  of  repairs  has  not  exceeded 
$1,  and  the  mill  is  in  good  order  now,  and  will  last  several  years  longer.  Of  the  solid-wheel  mills  made  and 
put  up  in  this  section  since  mine  was  erected,  some  are  completely  worn  out,  and  others  are  in  very  poor 
repair.  I can  recommend  the  “Halladay”  as  a durable,  self-regulating  wind  mill — the  best  wind  mill  I 
know  of.  Respectfully  yours,  GRIFFITH  JONES,  Watertown,  Wis. 

No  Danger  in  Working  a Halladay  Mill  in  a Gale. 

N.  F.  Thomas , Agent, 

Dear  Sir:  I have  had  on  my  farm  one  of  your  No.  2 Wind  Mills  several  years,  pumping  water  for  my 
large  amount  of  stock,  and  am  fully  satisfied  with  it.  I should  not  know  now  to  get  along  without  it. 
Would  not  be  without  a wind  mill  again  for  twice  the  price.  I am  fully  convinced  that  it  is  far  superior 
to  any  mill  that  has  come  under  my  notice  as  a self-regulator.  There  is  no  danger  in  working  it  through 
a perfect  gale.  It  has  not  been  out  of  order  one  moment,  and  I can  cheerfully  recommend  the  Halladay 
Mill  to  any  one  wishing  to  purchase.  Respectfully,  A.  J.  McCOY,  Burnett  Station,  Wis. 


A 30-foot  Halladay  Wind  Mill  Used  for  Draining  an  Orange  Crove— 
Letter  from  Hon.  Charles  Clinton,  State  Auditor  of  Louisiana. 

V.  S.  Engine  A Pump  Co.,  Batavia , III., 

Gentlemen : Your  favor  of  2*1  th  inst.  at  hand.  My  mill  works  tho  two  16-inch  pumps  admirably,  with 
a very  light  wind,  and  without  needing  to  be  constantly  repaired.  I feel  that  I have  the  power  for  drain- 
age suited  to  this  country.  I am  more  than  ever  satisfied  that  your  30- foot  mill  is  just  what  will  be 
eventually  used  in  this  State  for  drainage,  both  on  sugar  and  rico  plantations. 

Very  respectfully,  CHARLES  CLINTON. 

A 9-foot  Halladay  Mill  More  than  Supplies  500  Head  of  Cattle, 

Mr.  \V.  M.  Canline , 

Dear  Sir : We  wish  to  say  what  we  think  of  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill  and  Pump.  The  water  on  our 
stock  farm  in  this  parish  gave  out  early  last  summer,  and,  about  the  last  of  June,  we  had  you  put  up  a 
0-foot  Wind  Mill.  The  months  of  July  and  August  following  were  almost  a perfect  calm;  but,  during  all 
that  time,  the  mill  supplied  more  than  five  hundred  head  of  cattle  with  water,  and  the  waste  water  ran 
into  a dry  ditch  near  by  and  kept  that  well  supplied  with  stock  water  for  nearly  a mile.  The  mill  runs 
well  in  both  high  and  heavy  winds;  has  never  been  out  of  repair,  and  requires  no  care  or  attention 
except  to  oil  it  occasionally.  It  is  much  better  than  you  r«  presented  it  to  be,  and  its  value  to  us,  or  to 
any  one  requiring  a constant  supply  of  water,  cannot  be  too  highly  estimated. 

In  our  opinion,  the  Mill  and  Pump  we  have  are  capable  of  supplying  1,500  head  of  cattle,  or  more, 
with  all  the  water  needed  throughout  the  entire  year.  We  have  no  knowledge  of  any  other  Wind  Mill 
equal  to  the  Halladay  Standard.  Respectfully,  J.  GALL  & SON,  New  Iberia,  La. 

IO-foot  Mill  Supplying  All  the  Water  Needed  at  an  Extensive 

Tannery. 

Mr.  TV.  M.  Cantine.  1 

Dear  Sir : The  10-foot  Halladay  Wind  Mill  you  put  up  on  my  promises  here  is  a grand  success.  I 
do  a large  business  as  a tanner,  and  the  Mill  supplies  more  than  double  what  I need.  It  is  on  a tower 
fifty-six  feet  high — down-hill  from  my  tan-yard.  Water  is  raised  thirty  feet  above  the  ground  at  the  well, 
and  flows  by  gravitation  into  a large  tank  located  in  tho  tan-yard,  from  which  it  is  distributed  where 
wanted  through  pipes.  If  I could  not  get  another  Mill  and  Pump  like  this,  it  could  not  be  bought  from 
me  for  four  times  its  entire  cost.  The  Mill  and  tower  have  withstood  heavy  storms  without  damage,  and 
the  Mill  does  good  work  in  both  light  and  strong  winds. 

Yours  truly,  JOHN  FIIANZ,  St.  Martinsville,  La. 

A Real  Luxury  to  see  Stock  Enjoy  a Cood  Drink  of  Pure  Water. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  & Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen:  In  answer  to  your  inquiry  respecting  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill,  1 am  happy  to  state  that 
it  has  more  than  answered  my  expectations  of  a really  good  thing,  and  I wouldn’t  be  without  it,  if  I could 
not  obtain  another,  for  anything.  It  is  a real  luxury  for  me  to  go  out  into  my  barn-yardand  see  my  stock, 
from  the  horse  to  the  pig,  enjoying  a good  drink  of  pure  water,  at  any  time,  and  all  without  labor  on  my 
part.  I consider  the  Halladay  the  best  and  most  substantial  mill  I have  yet  examined,  and  believe  it 
combines  more  good  points  than  any  other  mill  now  in  use  in  this  vicinity. 

Yours  respectfully,  J.  M.  NEASMITH,  Schoolcraft,  Mich. 

It  Cives  a Steady  Motion  to  the  Pump. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  A Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen:  That  Halladay  Wind  Mill  you  put  up  for  me  is  all  right.  It  has  been  running  nearly 
three  years,  and  has  never  been  out  of  repair.  My  well  is  106  feet  deep  with  thirty  feet  of  water.  The 
mill  furnishes  a full  supply  of  water  for  200  head  of  cattle.  I like  the  “ Halladay  M better  than  any  other 
mill  I have  seen.  The  wheel  is  so  constructed  that  it  gives  a steady  motion  to  the  pump.  I consider  the 
“Halladay”  the  most  reliable  mill  in  use.  Respectfully,  etc  II.  WOODEN,  Pulaski,  Mich. 


Three  Solid  Wheel  Mills  Blown  off  of  one  Tower. 

Editors  Republican: 

Gentlemen:  I wish  to  say  in  favor  of  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill,  that  the  two  Halladays  recently  put 
up  by  D.  P.  Hawes  for  my  neighbors,  John  Walton  and  Charles  Barret,  are  two  of  the  best  wind  mills  I 
ever  saw,  for  the  following  reasons:  Ease  of  management,  simplicity,  durability  and  capacity  of  work; 
in  short,  the  best  mill  now  in  use.  I have  used  a solid-wheel  mill  for  some  time,  and  had  three  of  them  blow 
off  the  mast.  If  I were  to  buy  again,  I would  have  no  other  than  a Halladay,  for  they  can  be  run  in  any 
wind,  either  light  or  heavy,  and  when  it  will  be  impossible  to  pump  wilh  a solid-wheel  mill. 

I would  advise  all  of  my  farmer  friends  to  buy  no  other  than  a Halladay  Wind  Mill,  and  you  will  be 
sure  to  get  satisfaction.  Respectfully,  JOHN  CAMERON,  Ridgeway,  Iowa. 

A Cood  Wind  Mill  Adds  Creatly  to  the  Value  of  a Farm. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  A Pump  Co., 

Gents  : I purchased  in  September,  1868,  one  of  Halladay  *8  Self-Adjusting  Wind  Mills,  which  has  proved 
altogether  the  most  useful  and  satisfactory  investment  for  pumping  water  I have  everseen.aml  I would  say 
to  all  such  as  have  farms,  without  stock  or  running  water,  that  a similar  investment  will  add  much  to 
their  happiness,  and  contribute  largely  to  the  value  and  convenience  of  their  farms.  The  expense  of 
repairing  the  mill  has  been  less  than  50  cents  per  year.  IRA  RIX,  Kalamazoo,  Mich. 


From  Robert  Buist,  Jr.,  the  Seedsman  of  Philadelphia. 

Mr.  George  Canby , 

Dear  Sir : The  Halladay  Wind  Mill  which  you  put  up  for  me  in  the  spring  of  1878  gives  perfect 
satisfaction.  Yours  truly,  ROBERT  BUIST,  JR. 

Farmers  who  Buy  Cheap  Mills  Make  a Creat  Mistake. 

Messrs.  Diehl  Bros., 

Gentlemen:  In  answer  to  your  inquiry  how  I like  the  Halladay  Standard  Wind  Mill,  I will  say  it  is 
one  of  the  greatest  improvements  I have  put  on  my  farm  for  a good  while.  The  “ Halladay  ” is  undoubt- 
edly the  best  in  use,  and  farmers  who  buy  other  mills  just  because  they  are  sold  cheaper  make  a great 
.mistake.  The  Halladay  is  very  durable,  and  I would  like  to  see  them  more  generally  used.  They  cer- 
tainly will  bo  when  farmers  find  out  what  they  are.  Yours  truly, 

GEORGE  BRUMBAUCH,  Carlisle,  Cumberland  Co.,  Penn, 


Twelve-foot  Mill  Supplying  Four  Large  Creen-Houses. 

V.  S.  Wind  Engine  Pump  Co.,  Batavia,  III., 

Gentlemen:  Your  Wind  Engine  has  saved  me  such  an  immense  amount  of  labor  in  raifl*  0 water 
from  a well  to  an  elevated  tank,  to  supply  the  requirements  of  four  green-houses,  that  I take  great  pleas- 
ure in  adding  my  testimonial  in  its  favor.  Every  day  adds  to  the  convincing  proofs  of  its  excellence,  and 
if  my  houses  were  increased  to  five  or  six  times  their  present  size,  this  12-foot  engine  would  be  fully 
equal  to  the  demands  upon  it.  - 

It  has  stood  the  severe  gales  unharmed,  and  I think  too  much  cannot  be  said  in  favor  of  a machine 
which  saves  so  much  hard  work  without  any  running  expense,  and  which  requires  so  little  care. 

Very  truly  yours,  CHARLES  BURLEY,  Exeter,  N.  H. 

The  Halladay  is  Considered  PERFECT. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  d Pump  Co.,  Batavia  III., 

Gentlemen:  It  affords  me  great  pleasure  to  inform  you  that,  after  making  various  inquiries  as  to  the 
•best  and  simplest  motive  power  for  raising  and  forcing  water,  I was  advised  to  look  into  the  merits  of  the 
Halladay  Wind  Mill,  constructed  by  you.  Upon  reading  your  circular  and  the  accumulative  evidence 
from  every  section,  of  its  well-tried  and  effective  merits,  I ordered  one  from  you.  I have  been  using  it 
daily  for  years,  and  consider  it  the  very  best  investment  I ever  made.  Its  automatic  workings  are  per- 
fect, and  the  simplicity,  efficiency  and  little  expense  and  trouble  attending  it  must  and  will,  undoubtedly, 
create  a large  demand  for  this  valuable  labor-saving  motive-pow’er.  It  is  perfect. 

Faithfully  yours,  R.  B.  CARTER,  Burlington,  N J. 


A Twelve-foot  Halladay  Mill  Pumping  Croton  Water,  and  Fully 
Supplying  the  Benedict  Building,  Broadway  and 
Courtlandt  Street,  New  York. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  d-  Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen  : The  Halladay  Wind  Mill  erected  by  your  agent,  in  1874,  upon  the  roof  of  our  establish- 
ment, to  carry  water  to  the  upper  stories,  has  given  remarkable  satisfaction,  and  has  cost  nothing  for  re- 
pairs. We  have  examined  the  various  devices  for  supplying  the  upper  stories  of  city  buildings  with  Cro- 
ton, and  have  found  none  so  satisfactory  as  this.  Your  Wind  Mill  takes  up  no  room  in  the  building,  and 
disturbs  no  one  by  its  operation.  It  needs  but  little  attention  from  the  janitor,  a trifle  of  oil  now  and 
then  sufficing  to  keep  it  in  perfect  working  order.  We  remarked  to  your  agent,  when  he  was  erecting 
the  mill,  that  if  it  proved  good  for  nothing  else  it  would  be  an  ornament  to  the  building.  It  is  certainly 
that;  but  ever  since  its  sails  were  first  spread  to  the  wind  it  has  supplied  our  large  building  with  an 
abundance  of  water.  We  cheerfully  recommend  anybody  who  needs  a machine  to  raise  water  to  an  ele- 
vation. to  buy  one  of  the  Halladay  Standard  Wind  Mills.  Yours  truly, 

BENEDICT  BROTHERS,  169  and  171  Broadway,  New  Yoik. 


Letter  from  L.  B.  Wing,  Esq.,  Member  of  the  Ohio  State  Board  of 

Agriculture. 

. U.  S.  Wind  Engine  d-  Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen:  There  are  few  implements  of  any  sort  in  use  upon  a large  farm  that  give  entire  satisfac 
tion.  Most  of  them,  sooner  or  later,  fall  into  careless  and  inexperienced  hands,  and  the  purchaser  sees  his  new' 
machine,  in  which,  perhaps,  a good  deal  of  money  has  been  invested,  go  directly  to  ruin.  The  dead  bodies 
of  all  sorts  of  tools  that  have  been  laid  aside  before  their  time  are  piled  up. on  my  own  and  most  other 
Western  farms. 

The  Wind  Mill  put  up  for  me  at  Bement,  111.,  by  Mr.  Brown,  in  1871,  has  proved  an  exception.  It 
has  faithfully  done  its  work,  winter  and  summer,  pumping  daily,  from  a well  seventy-two  feet  deep,  wrater 
sufficient  for  not  less  than  one  hundred  head  of  cattle,  and  during  all  this  time  it  has  not  been  once  dis- 
abled or  cost  me  one  cent  for  repairs — a little  oil,  an  occasional  tightening  of  a bolt,  is  all  the  attention  it 
has  received.  The  clear,  cool  wrater  in  Bummer,  the  comparatively  warm  water  in  winter  aud  the  unfail- 
ing supply  in  these  dry  years  is  such  an  advantage  to  stock  over  anything  afforded  by  a running  stream 
that  wo  would  not  exchange  it  if  we  could. 

In  my  judgment,  your  mill  is  entitled  to  a place  in  the  list  with  the  mowing  machine,  the  two-horse 
corn-planter,  etc. — standard  labor-saving  machines — indispensable , almost,  to  the  comfort  and  success  of  all 
farmers.  Very  truly  yours,  LUCIUS  B.  WING,  Newark,  Ohio. 

Cost  for  Repairs  in  Seven  Years  has  not  Exceeded  Seventy  Cents. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  d Pump  Co., 

Geyitlemen : The  Wind  Mill  I bought  of  you  seven  years  ago  is  still  on  hand,  pumping  water  for  from 
sixty  to  one  hundred  head  of  cattle,  and  is  capable  of  doing  a great  deal  more.  The  total  cost  for  repairs 
has  not  been  more  than  ten  cents  per  year.  It  has  given  perfect  satisfaction,  and  will  probably  last  eight 
or  ten  years  longer.  In  my  opinion,  there  is  no  better  wind  mill  thau  the  “ Halladay  Standard.” 

Yours  respectfully,  II.  LUDWIG,  Millereville,  Ohio. 


The  Halladay  will  Do  Cood  Work  when  Others  Will  Not  Stir. 

lT.  S.  Wind  Eiujine  d Pump  Co., 

Gents:  For  years,  1 have  liml  one  of  the  Halladay  Mills  over  my  seventy-five-foot  well,  and  can 
truly  say  I am  more  than  satisfied  with  it.  It  has  not  cost  S'-  for  repairs  during  the  entire  time.  It  runs 
with  the  lightest  of  wind,  and  will  pump  when  mills  of  other  manufacture  near  by  will  not  stir.  During 
the  severe  gales  of  last  spring,  it  took  can*  of  itself,  and  rode  the  storms  uninjured,  while  nulls  claiming 
to  he  vnjtrovements  were  blown  to  atoms.  In  conclusion,  I say  there  is  no  better  mill  than  the  Halladay. 

I am  truly  yours,  BARNEY  VOSBURG,  Galesburg,  Mich. 

A Halladay  Mill  is  the  Best  Paying  Machine  on  the  Farm. 

Mr.  n.  G.  Tripp, 

Dear  Sir : It  is  with  pleasure  that  I accept  the  privilege  of  speaking  a word  for  the  Halladay  Wind 
Mill  I bought  of  you  in  1877.  It  is  a first-class  mill — durable,  perfectly  self-governing,  and  a complete 
labor-saving  machine.  It  pays  the  largest  interest  of  anything  a farmer  can  put  on  his  place;  and  I can 
cheerfully  recommend  it  in  preference  to  any  wind  mill  I ever  saw. 

Respectfully  yours,  0.  B.  SWAIN,  St.  Johns,  Mich. 


Would  as  soon  Cease  Farming  as  to  Do  Without  his  Halladay 

Wind  Mill. 

U.  S.  Witul  Eyujine  «(•  Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen : Three  years  ago,  I had  put  up  on  my  farm  one  of  your  wind  mills,  which  has  worked  to 
perfection,  and  more  than  paid  for  itself.  I would  as  6oon  cease  farming  as  to  do  without  my  mill.  It 
leads  the  van  in  wind  mills.  My  neighbors’  mills  (solid  wheels)  run  at  such  a high  rate  of  speed  some- 
times that  it  would  seem  impossible  to  stop  them,  and  again  they  won’t  run  at  all,  whilst  mine — the  Hal- 
laday— will  run  with  the  same  regularity  of  speed  in  light  winds  as  well  as  lmavy  gales  ; I can’t  see  as  it 
makes  any  difference.  Yours  truly,  ROBERT  ARMSTRONG,  Osceola,  Mich. 


Every  Farmer  having  Stock  should  own  a Wind  Mill. 

U.  6.  Wind  Engine  d Pump  Co., 

Gents:  I have  been  using  one  of  your  10-foot  Wind  Mills  for  a number  of  years,  and  also  have  one 
made  by  another  company.  The  Halladay  is  the  best  Mill  I ever  saw,  being  perfectly  6elf-regulating, 
durable  and  just  what  every  farmer  should  have.  My  Halladay  Mill  has  not  cost  me  one  cent  for  repairs, 
and,  from  present  indications,  will  not  for  five  years  to  come.  Every  farmer  having  stock  to  water  should 
own  a Halldday  Mill.  Yours  truly,  WM.  McNEELEY,  Malta  Bend,  Mo.

of  time  on  my  obligation.  I am  a grateful  “ Grasshopper  Sufferer,”  and  would  say  to  any  one  wanting  a 
Wind  Mill,  get  the  Halladay,  for  it  pumps  with  less  wind  than  any  other, and  does  not  freeze  up.  I would 
not  take  8500  for  mine  if  I could  not  replace  it.  I prefer  it  to  all  others. 

Respectfully  yours,  F.  M.  ROSS,  York,  Neb. 

Works  Like  a Charm. 

Chester  Thomas,  Esq., 

Dear  Sir : The  Halladay  Wind  31  ill  I bought  of  you  three  years  ago  works  like  a charm.  It  will  run 
in  the  lightest  winds,  and  adjust  itself  to  the  severest  storms  the  best  of  any  mill  I know  of.  It  lias  not 
cost  me  one  cent  for  repairs  since  you  put  it  up.  While  I know  of  mills  of  other  makes  being  blown 
down  in  the  neighborhood,  I have  not  heard  of  a Halladay  being  damaged,  and  some  of  them  have  been 
up  and  running  for  five  and  six  years.  Yours,  etc.,  CHARLES  PRESTON,  Irving,  Kan. 


Most  Durable  Piece  of  Machinery  Ever  Put  On  My  Farm. 

Chester  Thomas , Esq., 

Denr  Sir:  You  ask  me  how  I like  my  Halladay  Mill.  I will  say  I consider  it  much  the  most  profit- 
able and  durable  piece  of  machinery  I ever  put  on  my  farm.  I think  any  fanner  that  has  any  stock  at 
all  loses  the  price  of  a Halladay  Mill  every  season  ho  does  without  one.  It  will  run  in  the  highest  as 
well  as  the  heaviest  winds,  and  it  has  not  caused  me  a moment's  trouble  since  erected.  There  are  two 
other  mills  of  the  same  kind  near  here,  and  they  seem  to  work  just  as  faithfully  as  mine.  I am  glad  I 
bought  the  Halladay,  and  if  farmers  knew  the  benefit  of  a good  wind  mill,  as  I do,  they  would  no  longer 
perform  the  labor  of  pumping  by  hand.  The  beauty  of  this  Mill  is,  it  will  take  care  of  itself  in  a storm. 

Yours  respectfully,  S.  P.  ROLANDER,  Randolph,  Kan.

Dear  Sir : In  answer  to  your  inquiries  contained  in  your  letter  of  the  2Gth  inst.,  I will  state  that  the 
Halladay  Wind  Mill  that  you  put  up  for  me  several  years  ago  has  eiven  entire  satisfaction,  working  well 
in  all  kinds  of  winds.  I have  never  yet  known  of  one  of  the  kind  to  be  blown  down,  and,  with  my 
present  knowledge,  if  going  to  purchase  a wind  mill  again,  would  buy  one  of  the  same  kind. 

Yours  very  respectfully,  JAMES  M.  HARVEY,  Vinton,  Riley  Co.,  Kan.

Gentlemen  : After  using  one  of  Halladay's  Patent  Wind  Mills,  put  up  by  your  agent,  Mr.  John  H. 
Fraser,  of  this  place,  six  months,  I would  say  it  has  given  entire  satisfaction,  and  does  everything  as 
recommended  in  pamphlet.  I do  not  think  a Wind  Mill  could  be  made  to  work  any  better.  I give  this 
as  my  experience.  Yours  truly,  B.  WINKLES,  Hiawatha,  Kau.

Mr.  George  Canby% 

Dear  Sir:  I am  much  pleased  with  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill  which  you  erected  for  me  two  years  ago, 
and  particularly  as  there  were  special  difficulties  to  l»e  overcome  on  account  of  the  location  of  the  well, 
which  is  fifty  feet  de-p  under  the  kitchen  floor.  The  mill,  which  stands  oue  hundred  feet  distant,  operates 
the  pump  which  is  in  the  well,  by  means  of  the  “ triangle  ” arrangement.  A constant  supply  of  vater  is 
pumped  into  the  tank,  which,  when  full,  the  mill  is  stopped  by  means  of  the  “ Automatic  Regulator, ,r 
and  again  started  when  water  is  drawn.  The  Wind  Mill  has  stood  the  most  severe  wind  storms  I have 
ever  known,  without  injury.  Yours  truly,  JAMES  D.  RHOADS,  Spring  Hill,  Penn. 


Two  Families,  a Creen  House  and  Stable  Supplied  by  one  Small  Mill. 

Mr.  George  Canby , 

De  ir  Sir:  The  Ilalladay  Wind  Mill  for  pumping  water,  which  you  erected  for  me  last  year,  has  1 een 
very  satisfactory.  It  has  kept  the  tanks  of  the  two  howea  continually  full  of  water,  and  at  the  same  time 
has  afforded  ample  supply  for  the  greenhouse  and  stable.  I consider  the  automatic  arrangement  which 
stops  the  mill  when  the  tanks  are  full,  allowing  it  to  start  when  water  is  drawn,  of  very  great  importance. 
It  works  beautifully,  has  never  been  out  of  order,  and  there  has  been  no  cost  for  repairs.  I take  pleasure 
in  recommending  it  as  the  most  economical  arrangement  I know  of  for  supplying  a country  residence 
with  water.  Very  respectfully,  THOMAS  ROWLAND, 

Of  Thomas  Rowland  & Sons,  Shovel  and  Spade  Maufrs.,  Philadelphia. 


12-Foot  Mill  Pumping  from  a Coal  Mine,  160  feet  in  Depth,  with 

Perfect  Success. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  dc  Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen : The  Halladay  Wind  Mill  put  up  for  mo  in  the  spring  of  1870  is  to-day  pumping 
water  from  the  bottom  of  my  coal  shaft,  which  is  ICO  feet  deep.  It  has  never  cost  me  one  penny  for 
repairs  since  it  was  put  up.  I expect  t<>  want  another  mill  soon  for  my  shaft  at  Mineral,  and  I shall 
surely  buy  the  Halladay.  I sunk  a shaft  one  year  ago  twelve  miles  south  of  Streator,  and  used  a 
Halladay  Mill  on  that  to  keep  the  water  out  while  I was  sinking.  I think  it  is  the  best  mill  in  use,  being 
strong  und  well  built  of  good  material.  AUSTIN  ADAIR,  Selby,  111.

Dear  Sir : We,  the  undersigned,  citizens  of  New  Boston,  111.,  feel  it  our  duty  to  add  our  testimony  in 
behalf  of  t lie  Halladay  Standard  Wind  Mill  and  Pump,  which  you  erected  in  our  city  several  years  ago. 
Said  mill  and  pump  have  ever  since  furnished  nearly  half  the  city  with  water,  and  all  the  expense  of 
keeping  in  repair  would  not  amount  to  one  dollar.  And  nearly  all  of  the  undersigned,  having  used  your

use  nothing  hut  the  “ Halladay  Standard.”

Although  the  Pools  are  Full,  the  Stock  always  go  to  the  Tank  to 

.Drink. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  Pump  Co ., 

GenU:  As  genius  and  enterprise  should  always  he  rewarded  and  encouraged,  I feel  it  my  duty  to  say 
that  I am  more  than  pleased  \\ i 1 1 1 your  mill.  There  has  been  no  time  or  weather,  since  its  erection,  that 
there  has  not  been  an  abundance  of  water  for  my  stock.  Since  the  recent  rains,  the  pools  have  some 
water  in  them,  hilt  1 notice  the  stock  never  fail  to  come  to  the  tank. 

I would  not  exchange  my  water  advanuig'  s for  any  running  stream,  unless  I was  at  the  bend  of  it, 
where  the  water  would  always  be  fresh.  1W  all,  it  is  pronounced  second  only  to  a flowing  well.  In  short, 
my  standard  of  perfection  in  any  kind  of  machinery  is,  when  it  performs  all  that  it  is  intended  to,  and 
this  your  mill  does  with  the  most  perfect  satisfaction.  Yours  respectfully, 

W.  W.  RINKS,  Ridge  Farm,  Vermilion  Co.,  Ill

obstiucted  on  two  sides  by  timber,  and  the  well  is  117  feet  deep,  we  have  an  abundant  supply  for  all  pur- 
poses. I ts  value  is  inestimable.  H.  C.  BURNHAM,  Salt  Creek,  Mason  Co.,  111. 


‘cheap  mill,”  and  that  is  enough  of  that  Kind. 

Geo.  IV',  Penny  Esq., 

[>ear  Sir:  Yours  of  the  10th,  relative  to  the  Wind  Mill,  is  received.  I do  not  see  how  a wind  mill 
could  work  better  than  mine  has  done.  As  you  know,  I was  almost  persuaded  to  buy  a solid  wheel  mill ; 
but  now  that  I have  had  the  Halladay  for  some  eight  months,  I would  not  furnish  the  lumber  for  a tower 
to  put  up  the  other  mill  and  liavo  it  given  to  me.  I had  one  cheap  W inti  Mill,  and  that  is  enough  of  that 
kind  of  wind  mills.  The  material  for  a tower  for  a poor  mill,  and  the  cost  of  putting  it  up  is  as  much  as 
much  as  for  a first-class  mill;  and  the  few  dollars  difference  in  the  first  cost  is  nothing  when  compared  to 
the  difference  of  their  work. 

lily  mill  is  on  a tower  55  feet  high,  and  the  bluffs  to  the  east  rise  far  above  the  mill,  and  there  is  tim- 
ber almost  entirely  around  it ; but  have  not  had  to  pump  by  hand  at  all,  and  am  often  surprised  to  see  the 
mill  go  when  there  does  not  appear  to  be  the  least  bit  of  a breeze.  I have  not  paid  a cent  for  repairs,  and, 
iu  short,  I am  perfectly  satisfied  with  the  Wind  Mill,  and  would  say  to  all  in  need  of  a wind  mill,  do  not 
be  persuaded  to  buy  any  other  than  the  Halladay.  Most  truly  yours,  Sic., 

C.  A.  H.  FISHER,  Onawa,  Iowa. 

Would  not  Buy  a Solid  Wheel  Mill  at  Any  Price. 

I . S.  Wind  Engine  «f*  Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen : Having  now  thoroughly  tested  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill,  I can  cheerfully  recommend  the 
same.  My  mill  has  passed  through  several  hard  storms  unharmed.  I do  not  think  a better  mill  can  be 
made  than  the  Halladay.  My  well  is  eighty-five  feet  deep,  and  my  wheel  ten  feet  iu  diameter,  and  yet 
there  has  scarcely  been  a time  since  the  mill  was  put  up — early  in  the  spring — that  it  would  not  pump. 
1 am  acquainted  with  the  best  solid  wheel  mills  made — two  being  in  sight — and  I would  not  think  of  putting 
either  of  them  up  at  any  price;  in  short,  should  not  want  any  other  kind  of  a mill  at  any  price;  and 
if  I were  putting  up  a dozen,  they  would  all  be  Halladay  Mills.  I would  not  do  without  the  Wind  Mill 
lor  four  times  its  cost.  Most  truly,  D.  T.  HAWTHORN,  Castana,  Iowa. 

If  a dozen  Mills  were  needed,  would  buy  only  the  “ Halladay.” 

Geo.  W.  Penn, 

Dear  Sir : Replying  to  your  letter  asking  how  I like  my  wind  mill,  etc.,  I would  say  that  it  has  given 
me  satisfaction  in  all  respects.  We  have  had  some  hard  storms  this  summer,  but  it  has  not  been  injured 
iu  the  least  by  them.  It  runs  in  light  winds,  controls  itself  perfectly  at  all  times,  and  so  far  has  cost  me 
nothing  for  repairs.  I consider  it  the  best  mill  1 have  seen,  and  if  I were  buying  another,  or  a dozen, 
would  only  buy  the  Halladay.  Most  truly,  JOHN  M.  YOCKEY,  Smithland,  Iowa. 

Would  have  no  other  Mill,  even  at  Half  Price. 

l\  S.  TV'irui  Engine  <f*  Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen  : Replying  to  your  favor  asking  how  I like  my  Halladay  Wind  Mill,  I will  say  that  I like 
it  well.  It  has  given  me  perfect  satisfaction.  It  ruus  in  a very  light  breeze  and  controls  itself  perlectly 
iu  storms. 

Dealers  in  other  wind  milh  tried  to  induce  me  to  put  up  a d'fferent  mill, at  about  half  the  cost  of  the  Halladay, 
but  havitig  note  used  the  Halladay  Mill , I consider  it  far  cheaper  than  the  others  at  any  price,  and  I cheerfully 
recommend  it  to  all  needing  a wind  mill,  as  one  that  will  give  satisfaction  in  all  respects.  I would  as  soon 
have  the  Wind  Mill,  Pump  and  Tank,  as  any  spring.  So  far,  the  Mill  has  cost  me  nothing  for  repairs. 

Very  truly  yours,  etc.,  ED.  R.  McNEILL,  Onawa,  Iowa. 


The  Opinion  of  a Prominent  Cerman  Farmer. 

Geo.  TV'.  Penn, 

Dear  Sir  • In  answer  to  your  letter  of  the  5th  inst.,  respecting  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill,  put  up  for 
me  by  A.  L.  Strang,  I can  cheerfully  recommend  the  same  as  being  far  superior  to  any  I havo  seen  or 
know  anything  about.  It  is  powerful,  simple  in  construction,  easily  understood  and  managed  when  in 
operation,  has  fewer  parts  and  consequently  less  complication  than  any  other  mill  in  the  market.  It  has 
never  cost  me  a single  cent  for  repairs.  Very  truly  yours, 

LOUIS  SCIIWERTFEGER,  Onawa,  Iowa. 


IO-Foot  Mill  Raising  Water  150  feet  for  200  Head  of  Cattle,  150 
Hogs  and  12  Horses. 

Geo.  TV'.  Penn,  Esq., 

Dear  Sir : Replying  to  your  favor  in  regard  to  my  Halladay  Wind  Mill,  I will  say  it  1ms  given  me  satis- 
faction and  has  done  its  work  well  in  all  respects.  My  well  is  145  feet  deep,  and  it  is  124  feet  down  to  the 
cylinder,  with  ll4  inch  pipe  and  3^  inch  cylinder.  The  wheel  is  ten  feet  in  diameter,  and  has  this  winter 
pumped  water  for  150  head  of  hogs, 200  head  of  cattle  and  12  homes,  etc.  I have  not  had  to  pump  by  hand  at 
all,  and  if  I put  up  another  mill,  which  I expect  to  do,  it  will  certainly  be  a Halladay  Standard. 

Very  truly,  C.  M.  WILEY,  Belvidere,  Iowa. 

A Statement. 

Between  three  and  four  years  ago,  I purchased  of  Chester  Thomas,  at  Waterville,  a Halladay  Wind 
Mill.  This  mill  was  warranted  for  one  year.  The  mill  ran  steadily  aloug  since  erected,  pumping  from  a 
well  116  feet  deep,  until  a few’  weeks  ago,  when  one  of  the  fun  sections  came  out  by  there  being  a piece 
of  sap  timber  in  the  tilt-bar.  This  section,  by  coming  out,  broke  most  of  the  other  fans.  I informed  the 
Company  of  the  condition  of  my  mill,  and  asked  them  what  it  would  cost  me  for  repairs,  thinking  they 
might  do  some  better  than  to  charge  list  price,  w hich,  for  wbat  I needed,  w as  $21 . I now  have  the 
repairs,  and  they  w’rite  me  they  are  free.  I make  this  statement  because  I feel  it  is  justice  to  such  a 
Company,  as  they  build  such  a fine  mill,  and  as  they  claim  it  is  the  first  mill  they  have  ever  had  break  in 
this  country.  I think  they  are  the  best  and  most  profitable  piece  of  machinery  a farmer  can  buy.  I 
wouldn’t  take  $500  for  my  mill  and  do  without  one.  J.  G.  BASTOW,  Washington,  Kan.

WATER  SUPPLY  AND  FIRE  PROTECTION 


For  Small  Towns  and  Villages. 


AAre  desire  to  call  the  attention  of  the  public  to  the  fact  that  more  than 
three-quarters  of  the  towns  and. villages  in  the  country  may  have  a reliable 
and  durable  water  supply,  by  the  erection  of  a wind  mill  and  tank,  as  here- 
after described. 

Now  that  it  has  been  demonstrated  beyond  a doubt  that  tanks  can  be 
protected  from  frost  without  the  building  of  costly  houses  and  the  expense 
of  fuel  and  attendants,  our  method  of  water  supply  must  rapidly  come  into 
general  use  where  the  number  of  inhabitants  will  not  justify  the  outlay 
necessary  for  the  adoption  of  water  works,  as  used  in  the  cities. 

Our  method  is  to  erect  a large  tank  in  the  central  part  of  the  town  on  the 
highest  ground,  and  elevate  it  sufficiently  to  carry  water  to  any  part  of  the 
highest  buildings,  and  to  supply  this  tank  with  water  by  means  of  a good 
self-regulating,  powerful  and  durable  Wind  Mill  The  capacity  of  the  tank 
should  be  sufficient  to  hold  from  three  to  four  days’  supply,  to  guard  against 
occasional  calms,  and  the  size  of  wind  mill  and  pump  necessary  for  a full 
supply  of  water  will  depend  upon  the  number  of  families  to  be  provided 
for,  of  the  quantity  of  water  required  and  the  elevation  to  overcome. 

In  large  towns,  where  one  tank  would  be  insufficient  to  supply  the 
demand,  others  may  be  erected  at  convenient  points  and  be  supplied  from 
the  main  tank  at  or  near  the  well  and  wind  mill. 

AVe  manufacture  Pumps,  both  single  and  double  acting,  especially 
adapted  for  this  class  of  work.  Our  Double-Acting  Pumps  are  known  as 
the  “ Curtis  Pump,”  which  we  have  made  for  nearly  a quarter  of  a century, 
and  which  have  been  so  extensively  introduced  on  all  the  leading  railways 
of  the  country. 

Mains,  of  proper  size,  may  be  laid  below  frost  through  the  principal 
streets,  and  fire  and  service  hydrants  located  at  convenient  points. 

A water  supply, as  thus  described,  may  be  made  perfectly  reliable  and 
very  durable.  The  cost  is  moderate  and  the  expense  of  running  and  keeping 
in  order  is  comparatively  nothing. 

Hundreds  of  towns  and  villages  having  no  fire  protection  lose  more 
every  year  or  two  by  fire  than  twice  the  cost  of  a first-class  water  supply. 
One  fire  often  costs  a town  more  than  four  water  works  would,  where,  if  it 
had  this  protection,  the  loss  might  be  averted. 

AAre  would  be  pleased  to  furnish  estimates  of  the  cost  of  this  method  of 
water  supply  when  advised  as  to  the  depth  and  location  of  well,  quantity  of 
water  needed  per  day,  height  necessary  to  bmkl  the  tower  in  order  to  give 
the  wind  mill  a free  current  of  air  from  every  quarter,  general  lay  of  the 
ground,  etc.  And  will  gladly  advise  as  to  the  best  arrangement  of  tank, 
mill,  etc. 

Would  call  attention  to  testimonials  published  on  the  following  page. 


At  DeKalb,  111.,  a flourishing  little  city  on  the  main  line  of  the  C.  & N. 
AY.  Ry.,  59  miles  west  of  Chicago,  they  have  a water-supply  consisting  of  a 
93,000  gallon  tank,  erected  on  a timber  trestle-work,  at  one  side  of  the  well, 
40  feet  high.  Directly  over  a bored  well  is  erected  a 25-feet  diameter  Hal- 
laday  Standard  Wind  Mill,  which  works  a Deep-AVell  Single-Acting  Pump, 
placed  115  feet  below  the  surface,  and  forces  water  into  the  Tank.  Having 
a steam-engine  on  hand,  they  have  arranged  to  use  it  in  case  it  should  ever 
become  necessary  on  account  of  long-continued  calms.  Read  Testimonial

City  of  De  Kalb,  111.,  April  25,  1879.  j 
U.  S.  Wind  Engine  & Pump  Co .,  Batavia,  III., 

Gentlemen:  We  have  now  had  our  Water  Works  in  operation  nearly 
four  months,  and  can  say  the  25-feet  Halladay  Standard  Wind  Mill  and 
Deep-Well  Pump  furnished  and  erected  by  you  have  given  unbounded  sat- 
isfaction, keeping  us  fully  supplied  with  water  without  running  more  than 
half  the  time.  The  mill  regulates  perfectly  in  storms  and  has  every  appear- 
ance of  being  a well-made  and  durable  machine. 

We  have  the  six-inch  pipe  laid  through  the  principal  streets  with  fire 
and  service  hydrants  at  convenient  points  and  have  an  abundance  of  water 
for  all  private  residences,  business  blocks,  public  buildings,  etc.,  along  the 
line,  and  besides  all  these  necessary  conveniences,  we  have  a good  protection 
against  fire. 

In  connection  with  the  works,  we  have  a steam-engine  which  can  be 
used  in  case  of  long  calms,  but  as  yet  we  have  not  been  obliged  to  fire  up, 
and  if  the  Wind  Mill  continues  to  do  as  well  as  it  has,  we  shall  never 
require  steam. 

We  believe  more  than  one-half  the  small  cities,  towns  and  villages  in 
the  country  can  be  fully  supplied  with  water  for  general  purposes  and  fire 
protection  by  wind  power. 

The  first  cost  is  not  great  and  the  annual  running  expenses  must  be 
comparatively  nothing. 

We  believe  your  Wind  Mills  are  perfectly  reliable  and  very  durable. 

Very  truly  yours.  A.  S.  JACKSON,  Mayor.

Gentlemen:  The  twenty-five  foot  Halladay  Wind  Mill,  5x15  Curtis 
Double  Acting  Pump,  and  50,000  gallon  Frost-Proof  Tank,  you  erected  for 
us  at  Morgan  Park,  111.,  last  season,  I am  happy  to  say,  is  giving  the  very 
best  of  satisfaction,  fully  supplying  the  town  with  water  for  family  and 
ornamental  uses  as  well  as  for  fire  purposes,  should  a fire  occur. 

At  present,  we  have  four-inch  pipe  laid  below  frost  in  about  one  and  a 
half  miles  of  streets,  but  shall,  as  soon  as  possible,  extend  this  pipe  so  that 
we  shall  have  at  least  four  miles  of  streets  fully  supplied  with  water  from 
the  tank. 

We  get  our  supply  from  an  artesian  well  26  feet  below  the  surface,  and 
elevate  it  36  feet  above  ground  into  the  tank. 

We  estimate  that  the  mill,  pump  and  tank  will  furnish  a full  supply  for 
a population  of  3,000  inhabitants. 

Everything  works  perfectly  satisfactorily  so  far,  and  we  cheerfully  rec- 
ommend this  system  as  being  economical  and  reliable  for  supplying  small 
towns  with  water  for  all  ordinary  purposes. 

Yours  truly,  ' GEORGE  R.  CLARKE,  Secretary, 

The  Blue  Island  Land  and  Building  Co.,  Room  11,  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  Chicago,  111.

Chicago,  111.,  June  3,  1879. 

Gentlemen:  It  gives  me  pleasure  to  write  you  that  the  Wind  Mill, 
Pump,  Tank,  etc.,  at  Morgan  Park,  are  still  working  nicely  and  giving  the 
best  of  satisfaction,  the  cost  of  repairs  being  comparatively  nothing. 
Tiie  demand  for  water  has  considerably  increased,  yet  the  mill  keeps  us 
fully  supplied,  with  plenty  of  power  to  spare. 

Yours  truly,  W.  W.  WASHBLTRK,  Superintendent.

Halladay  Standard  Wind  Mill. 

The  table  below  shows  the  capacity  of  the  first  nine  sizes  of  our  mills 
attached  to  such  pumps  as  are  most  suitable  for  the  three  elevations  named. 
To  obtain  these  results,  the  mills  must  be  attached  to  the  pumps  direct,  and 
run  at  maximum  speed.  It  is  safe  to  calculate  that  our  mills  will  produce 
these  results  seven  or  eight  hours  per  day  on  an  average  through  the  year. 

For  irrigation  and  drainage — where  immense  quantities  of  water  are  to 
be  elevated — our  larger  sizes  are  the  most  suitable.  These  we  arrange  to 
work  two  or  four  large  pumps,  according  to  the  demand  and  the  elevation 
to  overcome.

Always  locate  the  mill  directly  over  the  well  or  source  of  supply,  if  there 
is  no  serious  objection  to  it.  If,  however,  it  is  impracticable  to  do  this,  it 
may  be  placed  any  distance  away,  and  where  the  elevation  from  low  water 
mark  to  the  location  selected  does  not  exceed  30  feet,  the  pump  may  be 
placed  in  a frost  proof  pit  underneath  the  tower,  and  worked  direct  same  as 
if  in  the  well  with  the  mill  directly  over  it. 

For  the  most  effective  work,  place  the  pump  within  a few  feet  of  low 
water  mark,  as  it  will  not  suck  water  successfully  more  than  25  to  28  feet 
under  the  most  favorable  circumstances,  and  it  is  always  desirable  to  reduce 
this  distance  when  possible  to  do  so. 

In  case  the  elevation  is  more  than  30  feet  from  low  water  mark  to  where 
the  mill  is  located,  the  pump  can  be  put  in  the  well  and  worked  by  levers  or 
triangles  and  wires,  etc.,  but  a direct  attachment  is  always  preferred. 

Provide  for  occasional  calms  by  erecting  a tank  having  the  capacity  of 
two  to  four  days’  demand,  according  to  location.

Halladay  & Wheeler’s  Patent  Custom  Wind  Grist  Mill, 

60  feet  diameter,  40  horse  power. 

See  Testimonials  for  these  large  Mills  <3n  following  pages. 


GEARED  WIND  MILLS. 

We  manufacture  10  sizes  of  Geared  Wind  Mills,  from  12  to  GO  feet  in 
diameter,  and  from  11  to  40  horse  power.  The  smaller  sizes  are  used  for 
operating  Farm,  Plantation  and  other  machinery,  such  as  Feed  Grinders, 
Corn  Shellers,  Elevators,  Straw  Cutters,  Circular  Saws,  Grindstones, 
Churns,  Cotton  Gins,  etc.,  etc.,  and  the  larger  sizes  for  running  Custom 
Flouring  Grist  Mins,  Quartz  Crushers,  Pulverizers,  and  other  heavy 
machinery. 

For  the  purposes  above  stated,  wind  power  is  now  extensively  used, 
and  the  demand  is  increasing  every  year. 

Nine-tenths  of  the  stock  farmers  of  the  country  can  grind  their  own 
meal  and  feed,  saw  their  wood  and  run  other  machinery  by  this  power  and 
make  it  pay  them  well.  The  first  cost  is  light,  the  expense  of  running  com- 
paratively nothing,  and  there  is  no  danger  from  explosion  or  fire,  as  in  the 
case  of  steam. 

The  Wind  Mill  is  very  easily  managed  and  very  durable,  and  the  work 
may  be  done  on  rainy  days  or  at  other  times  when  outdoor  work  is  sus- 
pended. 

In  many  locations,  a Geared  Mill,  say  22,  25  or  30  feet  in  diameter,  may 
be  made  to  pay  well  for  grinding  meal  and  feed  for  the  neighborhood.  For 
running  grain  and  coal  elevators,  wind  power  is  used  with  the  best  of  suc- 
cess. Many  parties  doing  a manufacturing  business  in  a small  way,  where 
power  is  not  required  regularly  every  day,  can  use  a wind  mill  to  good 
advantage. 

With  all  Geared  Mills  40  feet  in  diameter  and  less,  we  send  a counter- 
shaft and  pulleys  for  working  a pump,  so  that  they  may  be  made  to  pump 
the  water  as  well  as  grind  feed,  saw  wood,  etc. 


CUSTOM  FLOURING  WIND  GRIST  MILL. 

It  is  well  known  that  Wind  Mills  were  used  for  flouring  wheat  and 
grinding  grain  long  before  the  invention  of  steam-engines,  but,  as  a general 
thing,  they  were  rudely  built,  and  required  a great  deal  of  time  and  expense 
in  adjusting  them  to  the  varying  winds,  in  consequence  of  which  steam  was 
substituted,  and,  until  quite  recently,  was  used  where  water-power  could 
not  be  obtained. 

In  hundreds  of  localities,  running  streams  are  not  to  be  found,  and 
when  they  are,  as  the  country  roundabout  becomes  settled,  they  grow 
smaller  and  smaller,  and  finally  dry  up  altogether.  Owners  of  water  mills 
alone  know  the  number  of  days  in  the  year  they  cannot  run  their  machinery 
on  account  of  “low  water”  in  summer,  and  the  streams  “ freezing  up”  in 
winter. 

Where  steam  has  been  introduced,  the  cost  of  fuel,  engineer  and  repairs 
to  boiler  and  engine  have  so  nearly  eaten  up  the  profits  that  millers  and 
capitalists  have  become  discouraged. 

The  beauty  of  having  a grist  mill  run  by  wind  is,  that  it  can  be  located 
in  the  very  heart  of  the  wheat-growing  sections,  or  near  a railroad,  where 
every  convenience  may  be  had  for  shipping,  etc.,  whereas,  a w ater  mill  is 
almost  always  found  in  some  deep  ravine  or  out-of-the-way  place,  and  gen- 
erally in  a location  most  unhandy  for  its  customers. 

To  do  custom  work,  only  our  largest  sizes  should  be  used,  those  having 
a wind  wheel  50  or  60  feet  diameter,  and  possessing  from  28  to ' 40  horse 
power  in  a twenty-mile  wind.  With  these  mills,  we  only  furnish  the  neces- 
sary upright  shafting,  and  the  ball  and  hydraulic  regulators.  Parties  cor- 
responding with  us  in  reference  to  these  large  pow  ers  for  Custom  Flouring 
Grist  Mills  will  please  state  the  number  of  runs  of  buhrs  to  be  operated, 
and  their  diameter;  how  many  for  flour,  how  many  for  feed,  and  furnish  a 
complete  list  of  other  machinery  to  be  attached.

Read  the  following  from  a Practical  Miller  who  has  run  our  60- 
foot  Wind  Mills  for  over  eleven  years. 

Owatonna,  Minn.,  February  18,  1875. 

U.  .s.  Wind.  Engine  Pump  Co.,  Batavia , III., 

Gentlemen:  I operated  the  first  Ha!  laday  Wind  Grist  Mill  built  in  this  State, at  Freeborn,  nearly  three 
years,  during  which  time  it  did  a paying  business.  After  that.  I purchased  the  Owatonna  Mill,  which  had 
been  run  eighteen  months,  paying  for  it  the  sum  of  $6,000.  The  wheel  is  Go  feet  diameter. 

I have  now’  run  it  five  years.  Have  ground  in  one  month  3,400  bushels  of  wheat  ami  1,000  bushels  of 
feed.  The  average  ground  for  tho^year  is  from  1,800  to  2,500  bushels  of  wheat  and  1,000  bushels  of  feed 
per  month.  The  least  ground  in  any  one  month  was  500  bushels  of  wheat  and  500  bushels  of  feed — this 
being  in  the  still  month  of  July.  It  costs  $100  per  month  to  run  the  mill.  The  repairs  do  not  exceed  $10 
per  annum.  The  power  is  sufficient  to  run  three  runs  of  buhrs  in  a common  gale.  As  good  fiour  can  be 
made  from  wind  power  as  with  any  other,  and  as  much  per  bushel  of  wheat. 

In  my  opinion,  no  better  investment  can  be  made  in  the  prairie  countries  than  to  build  a Halladay 
Wind  Grist  Mill. 

A mill  costing  from  $8,000  to  $9,000  will  pay — net — 25  per  cent  on  the  investment,  in  a fair  location, 
when  properly  run. 

Parties  are  here  every  few  days  from  the  West  and  South,  wanting  mills,  and  if  all  build  next  sum- 
mer who  intend  to,  you  will  have  more  than  you  can  do.  Yours  respectfully, 

ADAM  SIMPSON. 


1’.  S.  Wind  Engin<  <t  Pump  Co.,  Batavia,  III., 

Gentlemen:  The  3G-foot  diameter  Geared  Wind  Mill  you  sold  me  has  been  running  five  months,  and 
has  not  had  five  cents’  w’orth  of  repairs  done  on  it  yet.  I run  a 6et  of  22-inch  corn  buhrs  for  meal,  and  a 
corn  sheller  at  the  same  time.  I am  doing  custom  work.  I 6hall  have  a pair  of  36-inch  wheat  buhrs  run- 
ning in  a few  days. 

The  mill  runs  with  leas  wind  than  I expected  it  would.  I grind  in  a fair  wind  from  eight  to  twelve 
bushels  per  hour;  in  a good  wind  from  fifteen  to  twenty  bushels  per  hour.  Yours  truly, 

We  concur  in  t In-  above.  H.  H.  WILCOX. 

JAMES  STEWART,  Millwright.  White  Water,  Butler  Co.,  Kan. 

B.  G.  ASHCRAFT,  Miller. 

What  same  Party  says  two  years  Later. 

Gentlemen:  In  your  last  you  inquire  of  me  about  my  mill.  I would  say  that  I have  not  paid  one 
dime  for  repairs,  and  the  mill  is  in  as  good  running  order  at  this  time  as  it  ever  was. 

Yours,  H.  H.  WILCOX. 

Gentlemen:  In  answer  to  yours  of  January  30,  w’ould  say  I have  no  fault  to  find  with  my  22-feet 
Geared  Mill.  It  performs  its  work  w ith  regularity,  whenever  the  wind  i6  favorable,  according  to  speed  or 
force  of  the  wind,  varying  from  the  hopperful  ground  out  in  five  minutes  to  two  hours,  to  do  the  same. 
I have  done  but  little  grinding,  except  for  myself,  as  we  have  had  such  soft  mads  all  the  tall  and  winter 
it  has  been  next  to  impossible  to  haul  on  them.  I rigged  up  a large  sieve  and  worked  it  by  means  of  the 
countershaft  and  a shaft  like  the  pump-rod,  so  I could  make  as  good  an  article  of  cornmeal  (sifted)  as  the 
mills,  and  I have  exchanged  about  75  bushels.  Of  course  the  coarsest,  which  does  not  go  through  the 
sieve,  serves  as  feed.  It  has  accommodated  the  neighborhood  a great  deal,  owing  to  the  muddy  roads  we 
have  had.  I have  ground  altogether  some  700  or  800  bushels,  and  have  not  yet  reversed  my  plates.  I see 
no  difference  at  present,  though  I have  had  several  nails  and  bits  ol  iron  go  through.  I can  run  with 
a favorable  wind  all  my  machinery  at  once,  namely,  sheller,  elevator,  feed  mill  and  6ieve.  There  is  nothing 
out  of  order  yet,  not  so  much  as  a bolt  or  nut  loose  to  my  knowledge. 

Yours  respectfully,  G.  W.  F.  CHURCH,  Catlin,  111. 

$1,000  would  be  no  Temptation  to  do  without  It. 

U.  8.  Wind  Engine  it  Pump  Co., 

Gents:  The  16-foot  Wind  Mill  has  worked  well  so  far,  giving  complete  satisfaction;  and,  so  long  as  I 
am  to  farm  it  for  a livelihood,  a thousand  dollars  would  be  no  temptation  to  do  without  it.  My  opinion 
is,  that  a farmer  ow-ning  a quarter-section  of  land  would  be  amply  paid  in  the  expense  of  a No.  6 mill  ; it 
w'ould  furnish  a sufficiency  of  power,  in  ordinary  heavy  winds,  to  do  the  necessary  grinding,  shelling 
corn,  pumping  water  and  sawing  wood,  required  on  said  farm.  My  well  is  93  feet  deep,  and  the  mill 
pumps  well  in  ordinary  winds.  I can  shell  and  grind  corn  at  the  same  time.  In  a fair  wind,  if  the  corn 
is  dry,  I can  grind  at  the  rate  of  30  to  40  bushels  per  day.  I have  sawed  with  it  two  cords  of  wood  per

Gentlemen:  We  had  a heavy  gale  here  on  the  lltli  and  12th  of  April.  A large  number  of  wind 
mills,  of  different  makes,  w’ore  injured,  some  total  wrecks;  but  I have  not  heard  of  a single  “ Halladay  ” 
being  damaged  in  the  least.  Mr.  Thomas  D.  Dewey’s  16-foot  Geared  Mill  was  running  during  the  entire 
gale,  and  ground  feed  at  the  rate  of  twenty  bushels  per  hour  till  th«  grain  ran  out,  and  as  many  ot  his 
neighbors  came  to  see  the  mill  work  in  a storm  ho  let  it  run  empty,  to  show'  them  how  it  regulated.  He 
told  me  they  were  all  satisfied  that  it  run  as  steady  in  a gale  as  in  a fair  wind,  no  matter  whether  running 
empty  or  grinding.  Yours,  etc.,  G.  E.  BEACH,  Marshalltown,  Iowa.

Would  Not  Run  a Farm  Without  One. 

17.  S.  Wind  Engine  dm  Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen:  The  13-t'oot  geared  mill  fur  exceeds  my  most  sanguine  expectations.  It  is  the  cheapest 
pioce  of  machinery  on  my  place  and  far  the  most  profitable.  It  is  capable  of  grinding  all  my  corn,  pump- 
ing all  the  wells  dry  on  the  place,  and  doing  a good  deal  of  work  for  the  neighbors.  I have  shelled  and 
ground  f*rty  bushels  during  the  day,  and,  when  I get  my  elevator  attached  and  things  made  handy,  have 
no  doubt  it  will  shell  and  grind  fifty.  I have  a two-hole  shelter  and  a Batavia  feed  mill.  When  the  wind 
blows  strong  and  steady,  we  can  run  them  both  at  the  same  time. 

Every  larmer  who  raises  corn  and  feeds  it  will  mako  the  mill  clear  in  one  year.  This  is  my  opinion. 
Knowing  what  little  I do  about  them,  I would  not  run  a farm  on  which  I fed  stock  without  one.  The 
power  is  much  cheaper  than  horse  llesh.  I feel  highly  pleased  because  the  mill  does  so  much  more  work 
than  I expected  it  could  do.  No  one  span  of  horses  can  do  so  much  in  twenty-four  hours.  Your  mills 
must  come  more  generally  into  use,  or  feeders  will  certainly  bo  behind  the  age. 

Yours  truly,  JOHN  P.  FOX,  Geneseo,  III. 


Cives  More  Power  than  Recommended. 

Mr.  If.  G.  Rhoads, 

Dear  Sir:  I was  so  well  pleased  with  the  working  of  the  10-foot  Ilalladay  Mill  purchased  of  you  that 
I concluded  to  get  another — a 16-foot — geared  for  running  machinery,  and  this,  like  the  other,  has  proved 
to  be  a complete  success.  Nothing  would  induce  me  to  part  with  it  if  1 could  not  get  another.  It  has 
done  much  more  work  than  you  said  it  would  when  I bought  it.  It  was  rated  at  2-horse  power,  but  I am 
sure  that  in  a good  wind  I have  run  it  up  to  5-horse  power.  Wo  have  ground  ten  bushels  corn  meal  per 
hour,  and  run  a corn-fodder  cutter,  cutting  a very  large  quantity  of  hay,  both  at  the  same  time.  We  run 
a 24-inch  circular  saw,  cutting  wood  for  house  use  at  the  rate  ot  a cord  per  hour.  We  have  ground  all  our 
feed,  cut  the  fodder  and  shelled  corn  for  twenty-three  head  of  homes  and  cattle,  for  which  the  grinding  alone 
last  year  cost  me  $200,  and  tbe  quality  of  the  feed  was  not  nearly  as  good  ns  our  own.  I also  run  a grind- 
stone and  a lathe  for  turning  wood  or  iron,  and  can  regulate  the  speed  with  perfect  ease. 

The  above  are  all  the  facts  concerning  our  mills.  The  statements  may  seem  strong — so  they  are — but 
they  are  just  as  true  as  they  are  strong.  .Yours,  etc.,

The  Most  Economical  and  Convenient  Power. 

V.  S.  Wind  Engine  d-  Pump  Co ., 

Gentlemen : The  22-foot  Halladay  Geared  Wind  Mill,  erected  for  us,  last  year,  by  your  agent,  Mr.  M. 
II.  Van  Meter,  works  to  our  entire  satisfaction. 

We  consider  it  the  most  economical  and  convenient  power  that  can  he  obtained. 

With  it  we  are  running  one  of  your  No.  3 IX L Feed  Mills,  a Corn-Sheller  and  Pump.  Can  run  all  at 
the  same  time,  and  have  repeatedly  ground  eighteen  to  twenty-two  bushels  of  feed  per  hour. 

Knowing  what  we  now  do,  we  would  not  run  a stock  farm  without  one  of  these  machines. 

We  have  used  one  of  the  10-foot  Halladay  Mills  the  past  five  years,  for  pumping  water,  and  have  not 
been  to  a cent’s  expense  for  repairs,  and  believe  the  mill  good  for  ten  years  more. 

We  consider  the  “ Halladay  ” the  best  Wind  Mill  made,  and  recommend  it  as  such  to  all  the  farmers 
of  Saline  County.  Yours  respectfully,  D.  M.  BAKER  & SON,  Malta  Bend,  Mo. 

A 25-foot  Wind  Mill  Grinding  Family  Meal  and  Graham. 

V.  S.  Wind  Engine  & Pimp  Co.,  Batavia,  III., 

Gentlemen : In  regard  to  the  25-foot  Halladay  Wind  Engine  you  put  up  for  us  several  months  since,  I 
will  say  that  its  action  continues  to  give  us  perfect  satisfaction.  We  find  that  there  are  but  a very  few 
days  that  we  cannot  run  more  or  less  with  the  No.  3 IXL  Mill.  We  also  are  able  to  run  ourlG-inch  Buhr- 
stone  Mill  at  the  same  time  in  heavy  winds.  But  we  can  run  the  IXL  with  much  less  wind  than  the 
Buhrs,  and  grind  much  faster,  and  the  feed  seems  to  give  just  as  good  satisfaction.  We  grind  all  our  feed 
in  the  IXL  Mill,  and  keep  the  Buhrs  to  make  fine  family  meal  and  Graham.  The  only  trouble  we  have 
at  this  time  of  the  year  is  that  there  are  very  few  farmers  feeding  anything,  as  pasturage  is  very  abundant. 
We  get  all  the  feed  grinding  that  is  done  in  our  vicinity.  We  find  that  it  pays  to  grind  all  the  grain  for 
our  working  teams,  as  they  will  do  on  much  less  when  ground.  Wo  expect  to  have  a growing  business, as 
we  can  grind  a great  deal  more  than  we  can  possibly  use  ourselves.

Gentlemen:  The  30-foot  diameter  Ilalladay  Standard  Wind  Mill  I bought  of  you  several  months  ago 
works  so  much  better  than  I expected  that  I cannot  find  words  to  express  my  satisfaction  with  it.  I use 
the  mill  for  grinding  and  elevating  grain  and  coal.  My  coal  is  taken  up  sixty-five  to  seventy  feet ; my  grain 
over  one  hundred  feet.  Cars  have  to  be  unloaded  within  twenty-four  hours  from  the  time  they  arrive,  and  I 
have  not  had  to  steam  up  this  winter.  Have  unloaded  all  my  cars  by  wind  power,  at  least  three  cars  per 
week,  one  week  fifteen  cars,  and  one  day  ten.  In  a hard  wind,  I have  run  two  elevators,  and  ground  at 
the  same  time.  I can  grind,  in  a good  wind,  200  bushels  of  corn  in  a day  (good  fine  meal)  with  two  mills. 
There  are  but  a very  few  days  we  cannot  run  the  IXL  Feed  Mill.  T was  a whole  year  making  inquir- 
ies and  obtaining  all  the  data  possible  relative  to  different  wind  mills,  being  anxious  to  get  the  best  in 
the  market,  and  am  satisfied  I found  the  best  in  the  world.  Your  mills  will  pay  for  themselves  in  less 
than  one  year,  besides  being  a great  convenience.  We  have  had  some  brisk  winds  since  it  was  put  up,  but 
have  not  laid  out  one  penny  for  repairs.  Everything  works  beautifully,  and  bears  indications  of  being  all 
that  you  claimed,  “strong,  effective  and  durable.”  I have  used  steam,  water  and  horse  powers,  but  the 
Wind  Mill  is  the  cheapest  power  on  earth.  Respectfully,  NOBLE  BENNITT.

A few  of  the  many  uses  a Ceared  Wind  Mill  may  be  put  to. 

r.  s.  (v.  e.  .<■  r.  Co., 

(•enllemen : You  never  asked  me  to  say  anything  in  regard  to  the  22-foot  Wind  Mill  which  your 
agent,  Mr.  Pendleton,  put  up  for  me.  I am  so  well  pleased  w ith  it  that  I thought  I would  like  to  tell  you 
"'hot  lam  doing  with  it.  In  the  first  place, it  is  placed  on  a 40x40-foot  horse  barn,  with  one-i  bird  finished 
off  for  millroom.  Over  the  millroom  are  placed  two  tanks,  one  for  rain  water  and  the  other  for  well 
water,  holding  fifty  barrels  each.  The  water  is  pumped  into  the  tanks  by  the  Wind  Mill,  and  that  gives 
it  force  to  take  it  to  any  part  of  the  farm.  I have  1,U75  feet  of  gas-pipe  placed  in  the  ground  to  conduct 
the  water  to  p'aces  desired.  I have  vats  in  the  yard,  with  floats  to  prevent  the  water  from  running  to 
waste,  and  hydrants  in  front  of  the  stalls  to  wet  feed  and  water  stock  inside  the  hams.  The  water  is 
carried  to  five  different  places  at  the  barns  and  five  at  the  house,  viz.,  kitchen,  washroom  and  bedrooms 
besides  a fountain  in  tile  front  yard,  nine  feel  in  diameter,  in  which  we  have  a number  of  goldfish,  and  a 
splay  that  runs  seven  feet  high  when  desired.  I have  two  hydrants  in  the  kitchen — one  well  water,  the 
other  rain  water— and  a hose  17  feet  long  to  attach  to  either  hydrant,  to  conduct  the  water  to  the  rinsing- 
barrel,  sudsing-tub,  or  water-reservoir  on  the  stove,  without  the  use  of  a pail.  I run  a power  corn-sheller 
that  will  shell  80  bushels  per  hour,  and  a straw  and  stalk  cutter  ihat  has  an  elevator  attached,  16  feet 
long,  that  elevates  fodder  after  being  cut  to  the  upper  story  of  the  barn.  We  run  one  of  your  IXL 
Grinders,  with  which  we  have  ground  23  bushels  per  hour  repeatedly.  Last  winter,  I ground  over  6,000 
bushels  of  grain  for  customers.  We  run  a 28-inch  buzz-saw  for  cutting  wood  or  ripping  lumber.  It  runs 
it  up  to  a good  six-horse  power.  I can  run  either  two  of  these  machines  at  the  same  time  with  the  Wind 
Mill,  excepting  the  saw  and  the  grinders.  I have  used  the  Wind  .Mill  over  a year  and  a half,  and  it  has 
not  cost  me  over  S3  outside  the  oil  for  the  machinery.  One  set  of  plates  tor  the  grinder  will  grind  about 
1,600  bushels,  or  2,000  bushels  if  there  are  not  too  many  nails  ill  the  grain.

$500  would  not  buy  it  if  I could  not  get  Another. 

Cheater  Thomas , Waterville,  Kan., 

Dear  Sir:  \uu  ask  how  I like  my  13-foot  Hall  ad  ay  Geared  Wind  Mill,  and  wish  me  to  make  a plain 
statement  of  its  workings  ami  its  merits,  as  compared  with  other  mills,  so  far  us  I know.  In  the  first 
place,  I am  running  an  emery  wheel,  lathe  and  grindstone,  ami  in  a fair  working  wind  I can  run  them 
all  at  the  same  time.  There  is  twice  the  power  you  told  me  I uouldhave.  I hesitated  for  a longtime  before 
I purchased,  fearing  it  would  not  prove  as  recommended,  but  as  soon  as  I saw  the  machinery  unboxed  I 
felt  satisfied  they  had  built  me  a fine  mill.  I am  convinced  they  are  far  ahead  of  any  mill  I have  ever  heard 
of,  and  I do  not  see  how  they  can  be  improved  on,  as,  in  my  estimation,  they  are  perfect 

I don’t  see  wliy  there  are  not  more  in  use  through  this  country.  I think  they  would  be  the  most 
profitable  piece  of  machinery  that  could  be  used  on  the  farm,  and  within  the  reach  of  almost  every 
farmer.  My  mill  cost  me  at  the  factory  S1G(>,  with  all  the  shafting  and  pulleys,  and  §500  wouldn’t  buy  it 
if  I couldn’t  get  another  like  it.  You  can  say  anything  in  favor  of  this  mill  and  refer  the  same  to  me,  as 
I cannot  find  words  to  express  my  admiration  for  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill.

Gentlemen : The  2‘2-foot  Geared  Mill  you  erected  on  my  stock  farm,  one-half  mile  w’est  of  this  place,  in 
the  fall  of  1875,  has  fulfilled  your  warranty  completely,  and  without  any  expense  for  repairs.  It  drives  a 
No.  1/2  Centrifugal  Corn-Sheller  and  a No.  3 IXL  Feed  Mill,  in  good  winds,  at  the  same  time,  fully  sup- 
plying all  the  ground  feed  required  by  my  entire  stock  of  short-horns,  horses  and  hogs.  I consider  it  a 
very  valuable  machine,  and  a paying  in  vestment  for  any  farmer  raising  6tock,  no  matter  if  he  lives  near  a 
grist-mill,  as  I do.  The  convenience  of  having  facilities  for  doing  the  shelling  and  grinding  of  grain  on 
one’s  own  farm  can  be  appreciated  only  by  those  who  have  machinery  especially  adapted  to  this  class  of 
work,  as  the  Halladay  Wind  Mill  most  certainly  is.  JOHN  VAN  NORTWICK, 'Batavia,  111.

Gentlemen:  Yours  of  the  21st  received.  I am  satisfied  with  my  lG-foot  Halladay  Geared  Wind  Mill.  It 
is  not  large  enough  for  a custom  mill,  but  does  very  well  for  a small  neighborhood.  I have  ground  about 
thirteen  hundred  bushels  of  grain,  and  at  least  one  hundred  nails,  two  %-inch  nuts,  and  other  things  too 
numerous  to  mention.  Have  paid  out  just  ten  cents  for  repairs.  It  is  an  investment  that  will  pay  auy

The  Quantity  of  Work  Done  with  a Wheel  of  This  Size  Is  Truly 

Marvelous. 

U.  S.  Wind  Engine  & Pump  Co.,  Batavia , III., 

Gentlemen  : Some  months  ago,  I wrote  you  that  my  22-foot  Halladay  Standard  Wind  Mill  was  doing 
very  successful  work.  It  has  continued  to  do  so  up  to  this  time.  I am  continually  running  with  it,  in  a 
good  breeze,  my  24-inch  Buhrstone  Mill,  grinding  Graham  flour,  meal  and  feed,  the  latter  in  conjunction 
with  my  IXL  Feed  Mill  No.  3.  The  quantity  of  business  I have  done  here  with  a wheel  of  such  size  is 
truly  marvelous.  As  for  quality,  my  Graham  flour  meal  and  feed  stand  A 1 in  all  this  region.  Could  I 
have  foreseen  this  result  and  have  ordered  from  you  a 40-foot  wheel,  my  business  woul'd  have  been  so 
increased  as  to  resemble  merchant  milling.  People  come  here  with  their  ox  and  pouy  teams  from  a dis- 
tance of  ten  to  fifteen  miles  with  their  grists  and  go  awa}r  well  satisfied,  as  I grind  as  well  and  at  cheaper 
rates  than  do  the  steam  mills,  the  nearest  of  which  is  eighteen  miles  ea6t  of  this  point.  In  eight  months  of 
daily  work,  I have  not  been  called  upon  for  one  cent  of  outlay  on  my  mill  outfit,  except  for  oil,  belt- 
lacings,  etc.  Yours  very  truly,  JOHN  FITCH,  Fitchburg,  Edwards  Co.,  Kansas.

I X L FEED  MILL. 


The  above  cut  represents  our  Iron  Feed  Mill,  the  invention  of  Messrs. 
Halladay  & Ruggles. 

In  our  first  efforts  to  adapt  wind  mills  of  suitable  size  for  driving 
light  farm  machinery,  we  met  with  much  difficulty  in  our  endeavors  to 
procure  a suitable  feed  mill  for  this  purpose,  and  after  examining  every- 
thing of  this  kind  now  in  use,  and  experimenting  with  a variety  of  them, 
we  were  finally  driven  to  the  necessity  of  constructing  an  entirely  ne%v 
machine,  expressly  adapted  for  the  above  purpose.  When  Mr.  Halladay 
commenced  building  it,  he  had  little  hopes  of  obtaining  as  good  results 
as  have  finally  attended  his  efforts,  and  we  are  happy  to  inform  you  that 
our  desires  have  been  fully  met,  and  our  highest  expectations  far  more 
than  realized,  in  producing  the  cheapest,  most  durable  and  perfect  Iron 
Feed  Mill  ever  before  constructed.  Everything  in  relation  to  it  is  as 
simple  as  a common  spice  or  coffee  mill,  and  as  easily  managed.  The 
circular  chilled  iron  plates,  that  do  the  grinding,  unlike  any  other  mill 
ever  before  constructed,  have  a grinding  surface  on  both  sides ; when  one 
side  has  been  dulled,  the  other  can  be  used  by  reversing  the  plates ; thus 
one  set  of  plates  is  equal  in  value  to  two  on  the  old  plan. 

An  extra  set  of  plates  accompanies  each  mill ; when  worn,  the  plates 
may  be  easily  and  quickly  removed,  and  the  sharp  ones  substituted.  New 
plates  can  be  sent  by  express,  or  any  number  desired  furnished  with  those 
mills  ordered  from  a great  distance,  as  they  cost  but  $1.50  per  set. 

We  believe  no  feed  mill  ever  invented  takes  less  power,  when 
quantity  and  quality  of  work  are  considered.  They  can  be  used  by 


36. 


U.  S.  WIND  ENGINE  AND  PUMP  CO. 


one  or  four-horse  power,  by  a proper  adjustment  of  the  shake  or  feed,  and 
can  be  worked  by  a common  horse  power  used  on  farms.  Ordinarily,  the 
power  of  the  horses  required  to  haul  the  grain  to  and  from  the  grist  mill, 
will  make  the  grain  into  good  feed,  thus  saving  the  tolls;  and  this  can  be 
done  in  stormy  weather,  when  you  can  neither  go  to  mill  or  be  engaged  in 
other  farming  operations ; but  if  you  feel  able  to  get  a wind  mill,  tolls  and 
power  of  horses  are  both  saved,  and  the  old  gentleman,  who  has  already  done 
his  share  of  hard  work,  can  shell  the  corn  and  attend  to  the  grinding  of  the 
grain,  as  the  boys  would  look  upon  it  as  a simple  amusement  to  feed  a corn 
sheller  driven  by  the  wind. 

If  these  Mills  are  properly  set  and  operated,  the  capacity  of  the  No.  2 is 
from  10  to  15;  No.  3 from  15  to  25  bushels  good  feed  per  hour,  and  if  this  re- 
sult is  not  attained,  it  will  be  evidence  that  all  the  above  conditions  are  not 
complied  with. 

There  are  hundreds  of  these  feed  mills  in  use  on  stock  farms,  and  they 
give  universal  satisfaction.  They  have  no  equal  as  an  iron  mill.  They  are 
built  wholly  of  iron  (except  the  hopper),  are  strong,  efficient  and  durable, 
and  are  furnished  at  much  less  price  than  many  others.  Read  the  follow- 
ing testimonials:

Gentlemen : — I wish  to  make  a statement  concerning  your  new  Iron  Feed 
Mill  furnished  me  last  April,  and  attached  to  wind  power,  for  which  it  is 
peculiarly  adapted.  It  grinds  finer  and  more  evenly  than  any  other  Iron 
Feed  Mill  I have  ever  seen.  In  two  fair  trials  with  another  style  of  Iron 
Feed  Mill  (which  is  considered  one  of  the  best  in  use)  driven  from  the  same 
shaft  at  the  same  time,  your  mill  ground  faster  by  about  two  quarts  to  the 
bushel  clear  corn.  For  grinding  corn  and  oats  mixed,  your  mill  is  far  supe- 
rior, It  will  run  all  day  without  attention,  and  as  far  as  I know  there  is  no 
other  mill  that  will  do  this. 

Yours  respectfully,  JAMES  SOLES,

Gentlemen : — I am  supplying  every  store  in  Wayanet  with  meal  ground 
in  your  I.  X.  L.  Iron  Feed  Mill,  and  it  is  universally  acknowledged  to  be 
superior  to  any  that  can  be  obtained  elsewhere. 

Yours  respectfully,  SULIVAN  ALDRICH, 

Wayanet,  111. 

Gentlemen: — My  opinion  is  that  a Xo.  2 I.  X.  L.  Feed  Mill  will  grind, 
when  run  to  its  full  capacity,  CO  to  SO  bushels  of  feed  in  ten  hours.  In  grind- 
ing all  my  feed  at  home  on  my  own  farm,  it  saves  time  and  travel  going  to 
and  from  a distant  grist  mill,  and,  with  the  amount  of  tolls  saved,  would 
equal  in  a short  time  the  cost  of  a Wind  Mill.  I think  if  farmers  who  are 
feeding  a large  amount  of  stock  will  investigate  this  subject,  it  will  not  be 
long  before  they  adopt  wind  power.  S.  H.  KEELER, 

Meriden,  111. 

Gentlemen: — The  Mill  I bought  of  you  works  well.  I ground  70  bushels 
of  corn  and  oats  in  less  than  five  hours,  with  a bad  track ; not  trying  to 
see  what  I could  do.  If  the  mill  will  last  as  you  say  it  will,  it  is  very  cheap. 

Yours  in  haste,  E.  STEVENS, 

Wayanet,  Bureau  Co.,  111. 

Gentlemen: — You  ask  me  how  I like  the  No.  2 I.  X.  L.  Iron  Feed  Mill. 
I will  say  it  more  than  tills  my  expectations.  I can  grind  ten  bushels  an 
hour  with  all  ease;  in  fact,  my  neighbors  get  me  to  grind  for  them,  and  say 
they  like  it  better  than  when  ground  by  a mill  burr.  I have  now  ground 
about  800  bushels  of  corn  and  oats  with  one  side  of  burr,  and  consider  them 
good  for  as  much  more.  CHARLES  TORRENCE, 

Young  America,  111. 

Gentlemen: — The  No.  3 Halladay  & Ruggles  Patent  Feed  Mill  that  I 
bought  of  you  last  spring  gives  perfect  satisfaction.  I have  had  several 
nails  go  through  the  mill,  but  they  did  not  hurt  the  plates  in  the  least.  I 
can  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  all  as  the  best  Feed  Mill  I have  ever  seen. 

Yours  respectfully,  JAQUES  YOORHEES, 

Raritan,  Henderson  Co.,  111. 

Gentlemen: — The  No.  2 Feed  Mill  which  I received  from  you  last  Fall 
we  have  tested  with  rye,  corn,  oats  and  barley,  giving  entire  satisfaction. 
It  runs  much  easier  than  we  expected,  requiring  no  mechanical  skill  to  keep 
it  in  running  order.  The  grinding  rings,  the  only  part  that  is  liable  to  any 
material  wear,  cost  but  a trifle;  besides,  it’s  but  a feu;  minutes’ work  to 
remove  the  old  ones  and  put  in  the  new,  making  it  really  a desirable  mill 
for  farmers. 

Yours  truly,  GEO  H.  TAYLOR, 

Franklin  Grove,  111. 

Gentlemen  : — The  feed  ground  with  your  I.  X.  I,.  Feed  Mill  is  of  superior 
quality.  I am  doing  considerable  custom  grinding,  and  live  within  less 
than  one  mile  of  a good  grist  mill.  There  is  a large  per  centage  in  favor  of 
ground  feed  over  whole  grain  in  fatting  stock.  I think  the  time  is  net  far 
distant  when  grinding  feed  for  stock  will  cease  to  be  an  experiment  with 
farmers;  then  your  mills  will  come  into  general  use.  E.  C.  COOK,

j GRINDING  FEED  FOR  STOCK. 

5 In  these  days  of  narrow  margins  and  sharp  competition  in  all  lines  of 
| trade,  it  behooves  a man  to  look  closely  into  everything  which  lias  material 

( influence  upon  his  business  and  the  profits  which  do  or  should  come  there- 

\ from.  As  a rule,  farmers  are  not  strongly  enough  impressed  by  this  fact,  and 
are,  more  than  any  other  class,  content  to"  roll  quietly  and  easily,  even  though  i 
it  be  slowly,  along  in  the  old  rut,  comfortable,  because  it  is  the"  familiar  way. 

If  a manufacturer  would  show  as  little  thought,  care  and  enterprise  in  con-  1 
( ducting  his  business  as  the  average  farmer  does,  success  would  be  among  the 
j last  things  he  would  see.  But  in  this  there  is  perceptible  an  improvement. 

} Farmers  are  doing  better  year  by  year.  One  old  and  wasteful  fashion  to  i 

( which  the  average  farmer  clings  with  strong  persistence  is  the  feeding  of 

I grain  in  its  natural  state.  This  is  more  particularly  observable  in  the  West, 
j where  so  much  corn  is  raised  to  be  turned  into  pork  and  beef.  The  general 

| way  in  the  West  is,  to  throw  the  corn  down  on  the  ground,  which  is  often 

/ mud,  and  let  the  stock  trample  it  under  foot  or  eat  it,  as  may  happen.  The 

( farmer  who  puts  the  whole  grain  into  troughs  is  considered  a thoughtful 
man;  and  so  he  is,  compared  with  his  neighbors.  The  more  thrifty  and  ; 
J more  prosperous  feeder  is  he  who  grinds  and,  perhaps,  cooks  the  grain  before  ) 

| feeding.  By  so  doing,  he  gets  out  of  the  food  all  there  is  in  it,  and  so  makes 

\ an  enormous  profit  upon  the  investment  of  the  money  required  to  pay  for  the  ( 
\ mill  for  grinding  and,  if  he  uses  it,  the  steamer  for  cooking  the  ground  feed. 

[ It  is  encouraging  to  note  that  the  use  of  these  farm  mills  is  rapidly  increas- 

/ ing  in  the  West,  and  we  venture  to  predict  that  the  day  is  not  far  distant 

( when  every  farmer  worth  the  name  will  consider  a mill  as  necessary  as  a 

( plow.  He  will  be  absolutely  driven  to  its  use  by  the  sharp  competition  he  j 
; will  meet  with  from  his  neighbors.  There  are  many  good  mills  in  use  in  the  j 
) country,  but  the  favorite  seems  to  be  the  I X L,  made  by  the  U.  S.  Wind  >

Gentlemen: — The  little  No.  2 I X I.  Mill  you  sent  me  came  in  good  order  ) 
j and  it  beats  them  all.  It  is  all  you  claim  it  to  be.  I think  I have  got  the 
\ right  motion  to  it,  and  it  works  nicely.  I this  day  ground,  with  four  bare-  ) 
foot  horses  on  a snow  track,  15  bushels  and  20  pounds  of  barley  in  59  minutes, 
and  ground  it  well.  It  is  the  first  mill  I ever  saw  of  the  kind,  and  I wonld 
not  like  to  part  with  it.  You  will  sell  more  of  them  in  this  neighborhood.  S

Gentlemen: — Our  No.  3 I X L Mill  is  doing  well,  and  knocking  out  the 
{ feed  at  the  rate  of  from  twenty  to  thirty  bushels  per  hour.  It  has  taken  the 
■ conceit  out  of  some  of  the  inhabitants,  who  thought  feed  could  only  be 
\ ground  by  burr  stones.  One  of  our  merchants  here  said  considerable  about 
| our  getting  a cast-iron  feed-mill.  When  we  first  started  the  mill,  he  brought  j 
us  some  wheat  screenings  and  cockle,  thinking  to  beat  us.  We  put  it  in,  and 
he  says  we  ground  it  to  flour.  He  has  several  hundred  bushels  of  barley  and  > 

J wheat  screenings  for  us  to  grind  into  feed,  being  fully  satisfied  the  I X L )

USE  THE  ANTI-FRICTION  HAY  CARRIER 

For  Elevating  and  Conveying  Hay,  Grain,  Etc,,  in  Barn,  Shed  or  Field. 


The  above  cut  shows  the  Carrier  locked  in 
position  on  the  track  over  the  load.  It  re- 
mains stationary  until  the  pulley,  to  which 
the  fork  is  attached,  runs  up  on  to  the

shown  in  the  adjoining  figure,  and  is  re-  The  above  cut  shows  the  Carrier  detached 
leased  ready  to  move  off.  and  ready  to  move  off. 

THE  ANTI-FRICTION  HAY  CARRIER 

) IS  SUPERIOR  TO  OTHER  CARRIERS  FOR  THE  FOLLOWING  REASONS. 

I It  elevates  perpendicularly  and  conveys  horizontally  any  desired  distance. 
There  is  no  trouble  about  getting  over  high  beams,  to  the  end  of  deep  mows, 
or  to  the  top  of  high  stacks.  Its  work  is  all  done  with  ease,  dispatch  and 
economy.  It  is  the  most  simple  in  construction,  there  being  but  two  work- 
ing parts,  and  they  are  made  of  malleable  iron.  It  is  the  strongest  and  most 
durable,  there  being  no  wheels  to  wear  out  or  break  off;  the  anti- friction 
rolls  run  on  an  iron  track  that  never  wears  down  or  splinters  off,  as  all  wood 
tracks  do.  The  Carrier  is  adjustable  to  the  line  of  draft  on  a stationary 
track ; it  also  works  perfectly  on  a liexible  track,  thereby  giving  if  a double 
adjustment,  which  no  other  Carrier  possesses.  It  has  a double  draft  rope, 
which  requires  only  half  the  horse-power  needed  with  a single  draft.  No 
weighted  rope  is  required,  as  the  friction  rolls  run  so  liiueh  easier  than  a 
wheeled  or  sliding  carrier  that  it  will  come  back  with  its  own  weight  on  a 
very  slight  incline. 

With  all  its  points  of  superiority,  our  Carrier  is  sold  for  less  than  any 
other  Carrier  in  the  market. 


MORE  GOOD  REASONS 

FOR  USING  THE  ANTI-FRICTION  HAY  CARRIER. 

Our  Carrier  can  be  used  for  unloading,  either  within  or  without  the 
barn,  and  for  removing  hay  from,  as  well  as  putting  it  into  the  barn.  It  is 
adapted  to  putting  the  most  hay  in  the  least  space.  It  enables  the  operator 
to  1111  a section  of  the  barn  at  a time,  so  that,  if  desired,  he  can  assort  the 
hay,  putting  the  best  in  one  place,  a poorer  quality  in  another,  etc.  There 
is  no  delicate  latching  or  rigging.  The  rope  passes  through  no  loops  nor 
rings  to  cut  it  out.  The  grappling,  hitching  and  unhitching  apparatus  is 
very  simple  and  absolutely  infallible.  None  of  the  parts  ever  need  oiling. 
Our  Carrier  cannot  possibly  get  off  the  track  unless  taken  off,  as  it  covers 
three  sides  of  the  run-way  and  a part  of  the  fourth;  yet  it  can  be  easily 
and  quickly  taken  off  and  shifted  to  run  in  an  opposite  direction  without 
removing  a section  of  track,  as  it  is  necessary  with  many  other  carriers. 

We  furnish  such  specific  instructions,  accompanied  with  detailed  draw- 
ings, that  any  man  or  boy,  with  a saw,  hammer,  screw-driver  and  bit,  can 
track  a barn  or  build  a stacking  frame  in  leisure  moments  without  expense. 

The  use  of  the  Carrier  a few  hours  in  a catching  time  may  save  many 
times  its  cost.  At  such  times,  anything  that  facilitates  the  handling  of  hay 
lessens  the  risk  from  bad  weather. 

By  far  the  greatest  portion  of  space  in  most  barns  is  used  for  storage  of 
hay.  On  most  farms,  hay  is  the  heaviest  crop  handled  and  always  needs  to 
be  handled  with  the  greatest  expedition.  In  haying  particularly,  time  is 
money,  and  labor  is  costly.

years  I have  been  filling  it  by

could  not  get  it  back,  and 
now  one  does  it  easily.  It 
more  than  comes  up  to  the 
recommendation.

FLOOR  HOOK. 

The  only  safe  and  convenient  fastening  for  a 
Pulley  is  a Floor  Hook.  Our  Floor  Hook  is  made  of 
three-quarters  inch  wrought  iron,  is  8 inches 
long  and  lias  a very  deep,  coarse  thread,  that  will 
hold  when  screwed  in  anywhere,  even  in  the  softest 
pine,  and  the  Pulley  can  he  hooked  on  and  taken  oil 
at  will. 

THE  NOYES  PULLEY, 

Shown  in  the  accompanying  sketch,  has  a deeply 
grooved  6-inch  wooden  Sheave,  made  of  the  best 
well-seasoned  maple,  and  is  nicely  finished  in  oil.  The 
case  is  heavy,  strongly  ribbed  ana  has  a swivel-eye. 

The  great  durability  of  our  Pulley  is  owing  to 
the  fact  that  the  Sheave  is  nearly  twice  the  site  of 
the  ordinary  wooden  Sheave.  It,  therefore,  revolves 
only  about  half  the  number  of  times  in  passing 
the  same  amount  of  rope,  and  hence  must  last  nearly 
twice  as  long  as  a small  Pulley. 


THE  GRAPPLE  HAY  FORK. 


To  all  those  wishing  a Horse  Hay  Fork  which  will  handle  fine  hay, 
coarse  hay,  loose  hay,  or  any  kind  of  hay,  we  would  recommend  the  NOYES 
GRAPPLE  FORK.  It  is  especially  desirable  for  those  who  have  hay  which 
cannot  be  handled  by  a Harpoon.  We  claim  that  it  is  superior  to  all  other 
Forks,  for  the  following  reasons : 

It  combines  the  merits  of  both  the  Harpoon  and  Grapple  Forks.  It 
always  takes  uniform  forkfuls.  It  takes  hay  clean  from  the  ground  or 
wagon.  The  points  are  always  guarded,  so  they  cannot  catch  under  beam 
or  girt.  The  operator  is  in  no  danger  of  being  impaled  if  anything  should 
break  and  the  Fork  should  fall.  The  Fork  is  made  of  special  steel,  of  great 
stiffness  and  strength,  made  and  rolled  for  our  exclusive  use.  The  Fork  is 
tested  to  lift  1,600  pounds,  and  has  been  greatly  improved.

A Reliable  and  Durable 


WATER  SUPPLY  FOR  RAILROADS. 

Twenty-five  years’  experience  in  the  manufacture  of  the  celebrated 

HALLADAY  STANDARD  WIND  MILL 

— as  a specialty— has  afforded  us  every  opportunity  to  detect  and  remedy 
any  and  all  defects  in  its  construction  and  to  make  important  changes  and 
decided  improvements  which  could  only  be  derived  from  constant  study 
and  practical  tests  in  all  velocities  of  the  wind.  Within  the  past  eighteen 
months,  we  have  made  several  such  changes,  which  add  very  materially 
to  its  power,  durability  and  automatic  regulation.  Smaller 'sizes  of  the 
improved  mill  will  now  do  better  and  more  work  than  larger  ones  of  the 
old  style.  The  durability  of  the  mill  has  been  nearly  doubled,  and  years  of 
constant  wear  will  not,  cannot,  produce  lost  motion -in  the  wind-wheel.  By 
a different  proportioning  of  the  central  ifon-work,  two-thirds  of  the  wear  is 
prevented,  and  provision  is  made  to  take  up  the  balance  as  fast  as  it  occurs, 
thus  keeping  the  fans  rigid,  possessing  all  the  few  good  qualities  in  a solid 
wheel,  yet  retaining  the  many  superior  advantages  of  a sectional  wheel. 

We  assert,  and  can  maintain,  that  the  Halladay  Standard  is  the  favorite 
among  railroad  men.  and  that  it  has  been  adopted  by  nearly  all  the  leading 
railways  of  the  country,  and,  as  proof  of  this,  we  invite  attention  to  a few 
of  the  many  testimonial  letters  recently  leceived  from  prominent  officials. 
Please  note  what  they  say  regarding  our  old-style  mill  and  the  mill  as 
recently  improved.  Some  of  these  officers  have  tested  the  merits  of  com- 
peting mills,  both  “solid”  and  sectional  wheel, and  now,  as  heretofore, give 
the  Halladay  Standard  the  preference  above  all  others. 

We  will  furnish  the  improved  mill  to  any  Company  on  trial,  giving  them 
an  opportunity  to  thoroughly  test  it  before  making  a payment. 

We  desire,  also,  to  call  your  attention  to  the  Halladay  Outlet  Valves, 
Spouts,  etc.,  Railway  Tanks,  and  the  Curtis  Double-acting  Pumps  manu- 
factured by  us  for  many  years.  All  these  goods  we  fullly  guarantee  to  give 
satisfaction.

Gentlemen : Replying  to  yours  of  yesterday,  I have  to  say  that  for 
nearly  twenty  years  1 have  been  more  or  less  familiar  with  the  working  of 
your  mills  on  this  Company’s  line,  where  they  have  been  used  to  the  exclu- 
sion of  all  others.  It  has  always  been  considered  a very  inexpensive  method 
of  supplying  our  tanks  with  water,  and  our  constant  purchase  of  mills  is  an 
evidence  of  our  opinion  of  those  manufactured  by  your  Company. 

No  doubt,  the  mills  lately  made  by  you  are  much  improved  over  those 
we  had  some  years  ago,  and,  in  the  opinion  of  the  men  who  have  them 
directly  in  charge,  we  now  get  the  same  power  from  the  smaller  wheels  that 
we  heretofore  got  with  the  larger  machines.  I certainly  have  every  reason, 
from  our  experience,  to  speak  well  of  them  in  every  way.

Gentlemen : The  improved  Halladay  Wind-Mills  erected  within  the  past 
year  on  our  main  line,  between  Chicago  and  Clinton,  are  doing  excellent 
work.  They  are  certainly  a great  improvement  over  the  mills  you, built 
several  years  ago,  being  very  perfect  in  their  regulation,  more  powerful,  and, 
I believe,  will  prove  much  more  durable. 

Your  mills  have  been  in  use  on  this  division  for  over  twenty  years,  giv- 
ing the  best  of  satisfaction,  and,  while  I have  always  considered  the  “ Hal- 
laday ” the  most  reliable  wind-mill  in  the  market,  I now  fully  believe  it  has 
no  equal.  From  experience  I know  that  wind-power  is  cheap,  erfective, 
durable,  and  can  be  relied  upon  at  nearly  all  station^  by  providing  ample 
storage-room  for  water. 

We  are  also  much  pleased  with  the  workings  of  your  Pumps,  Outlet 
Valves  and  Spouts.  The  twenty-five  feet  mill  shipped  us  a short  time  ago 
was  erected  at  Lodi.  Yours  truly,  JOHN  HICKEY, 

Sup’t  Building  & Bridge  Dep’t  Galena  Division. 

“The  Halladay  Mill  far  superior  to  any  we  ever  Tried.” 

Michigan  Central  Railway,  Detroit,  March  1, 1879. 

Gentlemen:  Answering  your  favor  of  the  28th  ult.,  would  say  the  Halla- 
day Mills  have  been  in  operation  on  this  railway  for  more  than  eighteen 
years,  and  have  proven  themselves  cheap  and  durable  machines,  but  I con- 
sider those  you  shipped  us  last  season  far  superior  to  any  we  ever  tried. 
They  have  done  their  work  well,  and  given  entire  satisfaction. 

Very  truly  yours, 

ROBERT  MILLER,  Master  Car  Builder.

was  General  Superintendent  of  this  road.  Mr.  Sargent  has  adopted  the 
Improved  Halladay  Mill  on  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad,  of  which  he  is 
now  General  Manager.

Office  of  Chief  Engineer,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  March  2,  1879.  J 
U.  S.  Wind,  Engine  & Pump  Co., 

Gentlemen : The  Halladay  Standard  Wind  Mill  has  been  in  use  on  this 
road  since  1869,  and  we  have  always  found  them  successful  and  very  eco- 
nomical— requiring  very  little  attention,  and  scarcely  nothing  for  repairs. 
I consider  your  improvements  very  valuable,  as  the  power  and  speed  of  the 
wheel  are  increased,  which  enables  me  to  use  smaller  mills  than  formerly, 
thereby  reducing  the  cost.  The  22-foot  mill  last  ordered  will  be  erected 
early  in  the  spring.  Respectfully  yours, 

CHARLES  LATIMER,  Chief  Engineer.
